# WRP - Web Rendering Proxy
|
|
|
|
A HTTP proxy server that allows to use historical and obsolete web browsers on the modern web. It works by rendering the web page in to a GIF image associated with clickable imagemap of original web links.
|
|
|
|
## Current Status
|
|
|
|
* This is the new GoLang/ChdomeDP version.
|
|
* It's still lacking some features of the [older version](/old) (such as real http proxy mode and image manipulation) but far surpasses it in terms of stability and usability.
|
|
* Currently works as browser-in-browser however work on http proxy mode is under way.
|
|
* It's beta quality but I can actually fix and maintain the code.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. [Download a WRP binary](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/releases) and run on a server/gateway.
|
|
2. Point your legacy browser to the IP address:port of WRP server.
|
|
3. Type a search string or a http/https URL and click Go.
|
|
4. Adjust your screen width/height/scale to fit in your old browser.
|
|
5. For very very very old browsers such as Mosaic 2.x and IBM WebExplorer 1.x check the I checkbox to enable ISMAP mode. However this normally should not be needed.
|
|
6. Scroll web page by clicking Up/Down. To go to top enter 0 and click Go.
