i've tried some of these for a project ( i had to cough automate download of files from a site made in old asp.net and with a lot of new js on it), only awesomium was able to do the job, but, man, it was overwelming difficult! i had to inject fiddler as proxy to catch exactly what was happening, awesomium by itself just can't do it, we are very far from a real scriptable headless browser.

Unfortunately, Awesomium seems to have been in "lights on, nobody home" mode for over a year now, and uses an outdated version of Chrome. [1] The nail in the coffin is a predictably unfulfilled promise (see Yannou's rule #1 and #2) followed by radio silence: [2] "The product is very well alive. Version 1.7.6 will be released in a few days with many new features and an updated Unity plugin as well. Meanwhile, we are also working on our next major version (v2.0)." Perikles C. Stephanidis, Jun 15 The other big problem is that it's not free. So nobody is going to pick it up and run with it.
