Unbrowser

Unbrowser is a small REST API that provides browser-based rendering of web pages. Initially, only a Webkit back-end is supported. Webkit support is provided by PhantomJS.

Installation

The easiest way to get up and running is to use Vagrant. A Vagrantfile based on Ubuntu 10.04 is provided, as is a Puppet manifest.
