Squeege is a project by Lyle, a Mashup Server hacker :), which is an
extension to the Scraper Host Object. Since the default Scraper doesn't have
the ability to scrape pages with dynamic content or CSS, the Cobra engine is
used to extend Web Harvest and the default Scraper HS.

The discussion we had in the forum (http://wso2.org/forum/thread/9420)
resulted in Squeege (
http://chamarette.podzone.net/mediawiki/index.php/Squeege_Project). This
enables mashup authors to scrape pages with heavy DHTML/Ajax, because it
processes the page just like a browser before carrying out the scrape. This
is similar to using Firebug to browse the DOM than using "View Source".
Firebug shows the final DOM where "View Source" will just show you the
result of the initial GET.
