Maybe that was a bit harsh 
but the cgminer api is readable by default although it is restricted to read only(it initializes using "--api-network"). Using this for management is fine but I would be very careful about the refresh rate especially with S1. I would suggest using the cgminer API for monitoring instead of the html pages it will be much faster.

I'm also doubtful the cgminer shows everything the UI shows, such as the status of the Ant chains.
