This library uses the Webkit Ruby Cocoa library to take headless webshots
# Ruby cocoa working
- This means it will only work on the system ruby on mac
- rvm use system (to activate it)
# Installation
gem install webshooter --pre
# Usage
## From within ruby
require 'webshooter'
Webshooter.capture('http://www.jedi.be',{ :output => 'jedi.png', :width => '1024' , :height => '768' , :delay => '2')
## As a commandline tool
webshooter 'http://www.jedi.be' --width=1024 --height=786 --delay=2 --output=jedi.png
# Limitations
- does not handle redirects currently
- create more configurable options
- cleanup code
- only support png
# Inspiration
This library is a compilation of various parts I found on the web
The research was done a few years ago, so unfortunatly I don't have all the references anymore

webshooter
This library allows you to create webshots using webkit on MacOSX. A webshot is a screenshot taken inside the browser. The advantage of this library is that it is headless and gives you the real view not a parsed view
