Detailed Description

This program demonstrates simple application control via THttpServer Two histogram are filled within endless loop.

Via published commands one can enable/disable histograms filling There are also command to clear histograms content

After macro started, open in browser with url

http://localhost:8080

Histograms will be automatically displayed and monitoring with interval 2000 ms started
