Excellent explanation. Now I understand what is wekbit and what is
webkit-image and I also know why I need Qt.

It doesn't work, not at work behind proxy and not at home on a
direct connection.
No errors come out on the shell, it simply exits webkit-image and creates
a 42kb file named acme.png. Unfortunately no matter what that file is
always 42kb and it is always empty.

What do I search for? 'ewmsplugin' AND 'webkit' AND 'windows'?
Already did that but didn't find anything.

As always thank you so much for helping me.
All I want is to learn so I can later contribute my work to the OSM project.
Cheers
