[nylug-talk] Xvfb and browser response issues

[jonathan]

I'm doing a project that involves taking snapshots of web pages, and
saving them as images.

Using Xvfb, mozilla or skipstone, and the import command gets the job done
very well. The only issues is that the two graphical browsers that I've
tried, when called from the command line, don't give back any kind of
status reponse.

Does anyone know of a good graphical browser that does? I'm looking for
something parsable that might tell me if its finished loading a particular
URL, for example.

Also, another idea came to me. Would it be feasible to use something like
netstat to see if a particular process was actively transfering data? I'm
not terribly familar with netstat or other related commands. Might this be
a way to determine what the browser running on Xvfb is doing?

Thanks.
