Basically you have two options: Use a cronjob to collect data every few 
minutes and replace some place holders in a template to create a static 
HTML page with proper values. Or create a CGI script or binary and use 
the httpd's CGI handler to run this script binary each time it is 
called. Which one is better depends on many factors like frequency of 
calls to the script, flexibility needed...

The guys at OpenWRT did a good job by documenting Busybox' httpd.

Probably not the best signature to use when communicating with mailing 
lists...
