graphics/airsaned 0.3.4.0_1 DragonFly

A SANE WebScan frontend that supports Apple's AirScan protocol. Scanners are detected automatically, and published through mDNS. Though images may be acquired and transferred in JPEG, PNG, and PDF/raster format through a simple web interface, AirSane's intended purpose is to be used with AirScan/eSCL clients such as Apple's Image Capture.

Images are encoded on-the-fly during acquisition, keeping memory/storage demands low. Thus, AirSane will run fine on a Raspberry Pi or similar device.

AirSane has been developed by reverse-engineering the communication protocol implemented in Apple's AirScanScanner client (macos 10.12.6, /System/Library/Image Capture/Devices/AirScanScanner.app).

Authentication and secure communication are not supported.

If you are looking for a powerful SANE web frontend, AirSane may not be for you. You may be interested in phpSANE instead.
