Mhttpd.js
About
mhttpd.js contains javascript function wrappers for most MIDAS AJAX functions typically used for implementing interactive custom pages for MIDAS experiments.
mhttpd.js is typically served by mhttpd from $MIDASSYS/resources/mhttpd.js

A mostly up to date copy of mhttpd.js is linked here:
An example for using all mhttpd.js functions is included in the MIDAS distribution under examples/javascript1:
