Yeah, I heard something about a headless webkit a while back, but I never tracked it down. Also, a friend of mine is working on a console browser that uses firefox as its backend. It hooks into firefox via mozrepl. Here's the brief description of mozrepl: MozRepl lets you program Firefox and other Mozilla-based applications from the inside using a telnet client. You still have to run firefox itself, but for those of us who don't care to spin up a GUI, you can run it under xvfb, which is a virtual X server. His program is ncurses-based, closer to something like lynx, but I'm thinking we could use the same trick for edbrowse. His work is here: http://bmcginty.hopto.org/clifox.git -- Chris
