Changes between Version 1 and Version 2 of Ticket #529, comment 4

v1	v2
6	6	* Adding "`/current.inc`" to a sensor URL returned JSON-style data, that after Base64-decoding and conversion among other things contained serial number of the sensor, current local time, temperature in °C, and humidity in %. The latter two values were given with an accuracy of one decimal.
7	7	* Adding "`/params.inc`" to a sensor URL returned JSON-style data, that after Base64-decoding and conversion among other things contained the title of the sensor, indicating the lab/room it was installed in.
	8
	9	To test that the principles stated above were fully understood, a "dummy" application was implemented consisting of a JSP script and a Java servlet. The HTML page with the JSP script contained a pop-up menu to select a sensor plus a button to fetch its data by sending an Ajax request to the servlet. Tests showed that it was possible to retrieve sensor title, serial number, current local time, temperature, and humidity values that were consistent with what was returned from the original sensor web page. All data retrieval and conversion in the dummy test application were performed by the Java servlet, without use of any !JavaScript in the HTML page, unlike the original sensor web page.
