The current remote web inspector enablement is Mac OSX centric. If someone wanted to extend it to the GTK, Windows, or EFL ports, there isn't a clean way to go about this as much of the remote inspector code assumes that it is being built for mac.
GTK/EFL has a different remote inspector method that uses web sockets.
Thanks for the follow up. Whereabouts in the code base could I find that implementation? It sounds like exactly what I want, but I just couldn't find it.
Never mind, I found it. It's under Webkit2/UIProcess/InspectorServer I was looking for the REMOTE_INSPECTOR enablement, and not the INSPECTOR_SERVER enablement.
