Script driving konqueror to generate web images

[Jesper Juhl]

Hi,

Is it possible to somehow drive Konqueror with a script to a website and then 
save the rendered page as an image?

Here's a more detailed description of what I want to do : 

I want to create a small website that will let people enter the URL of some 
website. A php/perl/bash etc. script (or C/C++ program) should then use 
konqueror (or maybe just khtml) to fetch the page, grab the rendered page as 
an image, save the image  (possibly manipulate the image with imagemagick or 
similar) and then add that image to an archive of webpage screenshots.

To control how the page is rendered I will ofcourse also need to be able to 
tell Konqueror how big the display area is and various other parameters that 
affect the rendering, that would be set when Konqueror is launchd as a normal 
app.

Can this be done?  and if so, can someone guide me in the right direction of 
where I can find some documentation on how to do this?

Thank you in advance for any help you are able to provide.
