Hi everyone,

I'd like to know if it is possible to create something like snapshot in my own server.

I need to create previews (thumbnails) for each link, external or internal, which is in my pages.

How can I do?

I thought I could use a js calling a php calling a cgi which creates thumbs but this seems very slow to me and also I believe I need to install an X server on my server which i can not (due to my hosting policy).

May I create something using just the framebuffer?

And how my CGI should create shots?
