how to send data to h-node.org

In order to send data to h-node.org you need to carry out a simple HTTP request with the data transmitted by the POST method.

The data sent by the POST method are formed by a long chain of POST variables, each one having his own value. In the following you will find the complete list of variables that the server expects for each hardware category.
