Anyone knows if it exists some Ruby binding to Mozilla?
My goal is to render HTML pages in Ruby using the Gecko engine, like
Python does with PythonMoz (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygtkmoz/).

Anyone knows if it exists some Ruby binding to Mozilla?
My goal is to render HTML pages in Ruby using the Gecko engine, like
Python does with PythonMoz (http://sourceforge.net/projects/pygtkmoz/\).
There's a gtkmozembed binding on RAA at
http://raa.ruby-lang.org/list.rhtml?name=gtkembedmoz, but it hasn't been
updated since 2001. Also, both the project page and the download URL
redirect to... nothing.
Most people doing GTK+ development are using GTK+ 2.0 now-a-days, and
gtkmozembed has been ported to GTK+ 2.0. If you want to use it, you'll
probably need to write bindings for it. The header only has about 40
functions, so it shouln't take more than a day or two to wrap.
If writing bindings isn't your cup of tea, you might be able to use
KHTML instead. I don't do Qt or KDE, so I can't provide any help in
that area.
Hope this helps...

I can only recommend using Ruby with the QtBindings if you can use it. It was easy to get a useful application fast (although I didn't know Qt and I never really programed GUI apps).
The tutorial of the KDE bindings even show how to write a browser (in, what, 80 lines?): http://developer.kde.org/language-bindings/ruby/kde3tutorial/p4.html

Hi Paul,
probably need to write bindings for it. The header only has about 40
functions, so it shouln't take more than a day or two to wrap.
It could be a good way.
If writing bindings isn't your cup of tea, you might be able to use
KHTML instead. I don't do Qt or KDE, so I can't provide any help in
that area.
This how i'm doing it now, but i don't like it too much because it
wastes time: launch it, writing and read the html rendered image.
Hope this helps...
It does 
Thanks
Alex
Hi,
As far as I know, there aren't any ruby bindings to Mozilla. However,
the ruby bindings of gtkhtml2 (part of the ruby-gnome2 project) worked
quite well for me. I don't think gtkhtml2 is as powerful as the gecko
engine, but when I hacked together a RSS reader a year or so ago, it
rendered pages just fine.
It would be nice to see a rubygtkmoz. Surf the web with Rubyfox

Hi Jeff,

I did before the post, but it seems to be abandonware.

I'll try it, i hope it suits my needs
Thanks!
