html option not usable when using setRemoteInstance

[spaceemotion]

I am trying to render a custom HTML page via the html option. However, due to the set up of my project, I have to use a remote instance instead of a local installation (via setRemoteInstance).

Since the HTML file is being generated on a different server than the one creating the PDF, puppeteer is throwing the following error:

Error: net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND at file:///tmp/942110971-0956970001603573522/index.html at navigate

I know I can generate a URL that can be opened instead, but that requires loading the data twice (apart from me having difficulties with this approach as well, just running into timeouts right now).

Alternative: Render custom HTML via setContent (around line 172 in browser.js):

$browsershot->setOption('html', view('xxxx')->render())

if (request.options.html) {
  await page.setContent(request.options.html);
} else {
  await page.goto(request.url, requestOptions);
}

While this is a quick proof of concept that works, there is a limit to the payload size. It seems to cap out at around 120k characters. Probably not enough for bigger files.

Thankfully the following call eliminates this issue:

$browsershot->writeOptionsToFile()

I am also getting this problem as described... bumping for a resolution.
