# Sync or Simple

This is a proof-of-concept page designed to illustrate a that a user need not click the submit button on a form for

information from the page to be sent to the server.

## How to Use

PHP will need to be installed on your machine and in your PATH. Open a terminal in the root directory (the folder with 

this file in it) and run:

```

php -S localhost:8080

```

Then navigate to `http://localhost:8080` in your web browser. Open up the `http://localhost:8080/spy.html` page in

another window. Typing in to the username and password fields on the form in the first window will cause text to

appear in the second.

## How It Works

In the background, every half a second, a script is sending the contents of the username and password fields to the

server (which is in this case running on the same machine, but needn't be) which is capturing these values.
