Hi everybody,

This may be a simple question, but the answer have eluded me for some
time now:

I would like to display certain pages (or parts thereof) from the
m0n0wall web GUI, either as part of a composite web-page (ie. with
other status pages shown in other frames) or on my Active Desktop. In
order to do so, it is, among other things, necessary to somehow
"pre-provide" the userid/password, as the page(s) will otherwise not
show (or alternativly, ask for this information, which is also not
acceptable).

Since it would appear that m0n0wall does not use the type of
form-method that allow you to compose a suitable URL with the userid 
and password embedded, I am at a loss about how to achieve this?

Specifically, I would like to show the traffic graph (preferably the 
SVG plugin only, without the menu and title etc.) on my active-desktop 
and/or in a web-page also containing status-readings from several 
other sources (such as from the web-interfaces of my RAID arrays and 
wireless router etc.)

As it is now, I can right-click the SVG graph, and choose "Show SVG", 
which will produce a new browser window with only the graph (which 
also makes the graph resize with the window, which is nice) However, 
if I cut'n'paste the URL used to show this SVG-only window, it will 
not work (I assume this is due to the lack of password, which I can 
find no valid method of providing?) The same goes for "plain" GUI 
(html) pages, although they will show the popup asking for uid/pwd, 
only the idea was NOT to have to enter this information each time 
(especially since active-desktop will NOT allow this popup to be 
shown, making these pages just as "broken" as the SVG issue above.)

If anyone know how this might be achieved, please let me know?

If this is not currently possible, I would like to (re)suggest that 
the other (can't remember if that would be POST or GET) form-method be 
allowed (possibly only if enabled by some checkbox in the GUI) for 
this purpose (would also allow for easier "scripting" btw. Be it in 
order to parse certain web-GUI pages or to make changes to the 
m0n0wall configuration).


Thanks in advance,

A-)
