<p class="MsoNormal">Hi,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’m investigating the possibility of getting access to the “Web Inspector” UI
<a href="http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebInspector#no1">http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebInspector#no1</a> remotely via another browser/process. This is useful when attempting to debug a page on a device that doesn’t have the same screen real estate as your PC,
such as a mobile device. I’m familiar with “Weinre” <a href="http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/Home.html">
http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/Home.html</a> which offers many of the features of Web Inspector in a fashion that I’m talking about; but some important elements are missing, such as profiling and java script debugging. I found “heX”
<a href="https://github.com/netease-youdao/hex">https://github.com/netease-youdao/hex</a> is able to do what I want, but I would like to be able to accomplish the same thing from WebKit itself, since the target platform isn’t on the pc. Searching through the
WebKit source code I can’t find any trace of it having the ability to open a listening port to have a debugging client attach.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is such a thing already possible? The docs, and older mail threads suggested that remote operation was once a goal of Web Inspector, does work continue on this vein? Please offer any suggestions on how this might be accomplished.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
