Well, making some progress. Snag now is testtags are not being fully converted on my wx5.html page.
I'm uploading testtags.php just fine but my converted wxlocal5.html file being uploaded is only converting the top 2 lines of the testtags. The Date & Time and current conditions. All others are not being converted prior to being uploaded to server.
Here is what is happening on the page and my code for the wxlocal5.html
Appreciate any help. My wx7.html page is working fine now and converted everything that was designated.

That's how it is. Thank you very much for pointing it out to me. Greetings

Wow.. this is starting to sound like what was done for ReplayTV (SonicBlue/Panasonic) PVRs in the 2000s where the entire site was proxied so that channel guide data, show sharing, etc continued to work after shutdown.

At the moment, we believe there are a couple of ways to do it. The fake webserver (redirect/proxy/mitm) is one possible solution that we are investigating.  Another is to simply run a standalone program that uses the GW1000 "telnet" protocol to feed the desired firmware to the device. These are very different methods, and involve differing skills to implement. So we are working on both approaches.  (The "we" to which I refer includes me and several others who may remain anonymous until we are ready to publish tested procedures.)

.... but given the step back many claim with the tipping spoon design ....

Don't see what the issue is? Quite an improvement over the tipping buckets which were a real problem.

Yeah I know its kind of fun to color outside of the lines.
