Hi,

I'm investigating the possibility of getting access to the "Web Inspector" UI 
http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebInspector#no1 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" 
http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/docs/latest/Home.html 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" https://github.com/netease-youdao/hex 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.

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.

Thanks

Chris Vienneau
