I’m investigating the possibility of getting access to the “Web
Inspector” UI http://trac.webkit.org/wiki/WebInspector#no1 remotely via

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.

That is the way the inspector works nowadays. Looks for RemoteInspector in JavaScriptCore.

On OS X, you can use Safari's inspector to inspect your own apps (running on iOS or OS X).
