some screenshots erroring out #174

Closed visnup closed 13 years ago

visnup commented 13 years ago

e.g., http://pinkyurl.com/i?url=http%3A%2F%2Fslidejoin.no.de%2F&out-format=png&resize=160x93 times out. running cutycapt on it directly, never comes back.

phantomjs.exe rasterize.js http://slidejoin.no.de/ test.png results in "Unable to load the address!" so that is also no option. Unfortunately it doesn't give any other meaningfull error, so I don't know what is causing it to fail.

looking with google devkit, it seems the page is doing xhr polling with socket io repeatedly. maybe that is the reason it times out?

I tried http://iecapt.sourceforge.net/, "IECapt.exe --url=http://slidejoin.no.de/ --out=test.png" and that works ok. Not sure if you have access to a windows machine though.

thanks for looking into all those options. yeah it might be some js event loop that never really exits, but most of these tools stop js execution and take a screenshot of current state.

I'm thinking for the handful of sites that are erroring, to do something more manual and push that into our results.
