I received the following.  It looks suspicious to me.  I do not know the

A JSP is a Java Server Page - a page that contains Java scriptlets. It's
the Java equivalent of Microsoft ASP pages - interpreted at run-time by the
web server, not your browser.

No risk in that page - it's pretty much the same thing as running man2html
on your own system. A similar useful page is
