extension question: sending html



Hi,

I'm interested in writing an epiphany extension whist I have some free
time, I'm very familiar with gobject/glib/gtk and python so I thought
that hopefully it shouldn't be too hard and so far it seems like It will
be quite simple.

The problem is that I am interested in creating a default homepage so to
speak, an extension that will generate some html to use as a homepage
instead of just about:blank - it could then display things such as the
recent website that the user went to or the most visited websites or
some such, I use the Google homepage to basically do that but obviously
its not tied into epiphany like I would like. But I am not sure how
possible it is to deliver generated webpage via an extension.

I was thinking something like the about: pages, but I have sneaking
suspicion that those are tied into gecko (or webkit as the situation
differs). It would be nice to be able to just detect a certain url such
as about:home and be able to deliver html from that.

Essentially I'm just looking for some advice on how to proceed to do
something along those lines, but I'm not at all sure that its possible
via the extension interface. The closest thing I *think* I can see in
the API is just retrieving the current notebook, finding whatever tab
loaded the "about:home" url and building a gtk interface that does a
similar thing.

Thanks, Gord.
