Well I used a meta tag so that the client refreshes in case new info has
come in.
However in this case the client can also POST new information, and I
don't want it POSTING the same information every 5 minutes or whatever.
The idea is to construct a not very real time view (5 minute granularity
is good enough) on some data, some of which the user can change.
I haven't tested it to see if a refresh is actually different from a
submit.
