## History
* In 2014, version 1.0 started as a *cgi-bin* script, adaptation of `webkit2png.py` and `pcidade.py`, [blog post](https://virtuallyfun.com/2014/03/03/surfing-modern-web-with-ancient-browsers/).
* A bit Later in 2014, version 2.0 became a stand alone http-proxy server, supporting both Linux and MacOS, [another post](https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2014/03/11/web-rendering-proxy-update//).
* In 2016 thanks to EFF/Certbot the whole internet migrated to HTTPS/SSL/TLS and WRP largely stopped working. Python code became unmaintainable and there was no way to make it work on Windows, even under WSL.
* In 2019 WRP 3.0 has been rewritten in [Go](https://golang.org/) using [Chromedp](https://github.com/chromedp) as browser-in-browser instead of http-proxy. The initial version was [less than 100 lines of code](https://gist.github.com/tenox7/b0f03c039b0a8b67f6c1bf47e2dd0df0).
* Later in 2019, WRP 4.0 has been completely refactored to use mouse clicks via imagemap instead parsing a href nodes.
