Display Current Screen on ScreenInvader

[naxxatoe]

Okay, lets say you want to share your current screen content with friends quickly, but a video style view
is not what you are going for?

Perhaps upload a quick screencap?

This shell script serves as an example (serverside modifications required) => http post handling!

Nice hack. Although the solution should be multi-platform. How about vlc?
Also #65 apparently duplicates this issue (or the other way around).

I think this and #65 could be implemented in the near future using the getUserMedia() function of WebRTC. It is platform-independent and will be supported by all major browsers.
However, this might be blocked by #40 for now, as it seems to be only allowed through ssl (at least for Chrome).
