README

        
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
