# Overview
Author: Niklas Baumstark
A standalone version of the Webkit server included in [capybara-webkit][1]. It includes a slim Python wrapper and the following improvements over the original version from thoughtbot:
Wait command to wait for the current page to load
SetAttribute command to [configure certain QWebkit settings][2]
SetHtml command to [load custom HTML][3] into the browser (e.g. to execute scripts on web pages scraped by a static scraper)
SetViewportSize command to set the viewport size of the in-memory browser
If you are interested in web scraping using this server, have a look at [dryscrape][4].
# Building and Installing
To install the Python binding (this also builds the server and places it into Python’s site-package directory):
sudo python setup.py install
If you don’t need the Python bindings, you can also use the supplied build.sh shellscript to build the server only.
