Issue #144 [New/open] - Google Analytics enabled, not to be disabled (easily), not shown in documentation

Posted by DaMaltor

What steps will reproduce the problem?

Using webiopi

WebIOPi version used? => 0.7.1

Python version used? => any

Distro used? (WebIOPi has only been tested on Raspbian Wheezy) => any

Raspberry Pi board revision? (1 or 2) => any

For Javascript side bugs, Browser? => any

Please provide any additional information below.

The standard website which shows all gpio pins has google analytics code insite it. this allows the makers of webiopi to track anybody who uses webiopi, and to make statistics about the usage. it might be possible to extract IPs out of this data to use for an attack on open webiopi systems. google analytics cant be switched off as far as i know.

i dont have anything to say against analytics, in fact i use it by myself, but it should be possible to disable it. also, it is nowhere noted that this application reports unknown statistical, maybe non-anonymous data to a third party.
