POConvert webpage (html) to thumbnail/preview for output via PHP file

copied!<p>So i've done a lot of searching on here and Google and haven't seem to come across anything that is known to work or that I think will accomplish what i'm looking to do.</p> <p>Basically right now i've been using www.thumboo.com to create thumbnails via their API however they do not support SSL and where im creating the preview is under a customer area where SSL is required.</p> <p>So i'm looking to either develop something myself or find something already developed to use, i would like to create a simple "screenshot" or "thumbnail" of a website address on the fly, not sure if i want to cache it yet or not, but either way doesn't matter.</p> <p>Does anybody know of any scripts out there that can accomplish this? I'm not looking to get a screenshot of the "entire" page, just what a "browser" would originally see without scrolling down, just like how it works on www.thumboo.com.</p> <p>I'm not too concerned with the scripting language but i plan on outputting the file using php by pulling the file from somewhere or activating the script with java or php.</p> <p>Does anybody know of any other thumbnail services that may have an API That works with SSL or any scripts that are <em>still</em> developed for this purpose? Everything i have found has been outdated which makes me wonder if there is some easy way to do it now with some type of function or module i may need to add to PHP.</p> <p>I am server admin so i can customize PHP and the server as i need to get it to work.</p> <p>Thanks ahead of time!</p>
