Add support for file:// URLs and/or rendering from HTML parameter #69

Hi,

We have a use case where we need to take raw HTML and render a screenshot of it. Our existing process is to write the HTML to a temporary file and provide a file:// URL to a screenshot-generating app. It would be nice if we could use manet in the same fashion (we would have to ensure that our manet container has access to this temporary file, but that can be left up to the implementation).

Even more convenient might be if we could pass raw HTML and have manet render it (presumably this would need to be POST rather than GET). I'm not sure if this could be a potential security concern, but if so maybe it could be a feature that has to be specifically enabled.

I think it is pretty easy to setup a local server and render your html on it instead.

I agree with @aetherwu I'm not sure about needs to take screenshots from local files, it could make some problems with security..

I suggest to close this ticket for now, and re-open if somebody needs it
