Expose Print Status over internet

I would like to expose a print status page over internet that is not capable of changing any state of the printer. More or less just show what's on "Print Status" page. Would that be possible somehow?
I'm willing to relay that page through a server on my own if that would be a solution. Like a web site running on Raspberry Pi or similar that reads data from printer and expose print status.

How much traffic are you expecting, is this semi private or public?

If its public then you don't want to use the Duets web server function, Id look at a screen scraper that collects the data from the duet web server then reserves it over the internet, this way you limit the work the duet has to do.

It's completely private. Just don't want to have to bother about securing the web site with passwords and stuff.
I could always write a screen scraper myself but the duet web server is already a bit tricky on browser support. Also, I would have to "Connect" to it to get the data back. Not sure what "Connect" actually does (other than enabling the web interface of course).
