METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CAPTURING WEB CONTENT FROM A WEB SERVER AS A SET OF IMAGES

摘要

A method and system for capturing web content from a web server includes a capturing server establishing an active link between a client device and the capturing server that allows the client device to remotely control an active web browsing session, between the capturing server and the web server, to select web content. The method also includes establishing the active web browsing session between the capturing server and the web server using a web browser executing on the capturing server. The capturing server further receives the web content from the web server, without the web content being routed through the client device, and captures the web content during the active web browsing session as a set of images of the web browser. The set of images is captured to a non-volatile storage device, remote from the client device, for later retrieval on a future date.
