## Minimal Requirements
WRP Server / Gateway should run on a modern hardware/os that supports memory hungry Chrome.
WRP Client / Browser needs to support HTML FORM and ISMAP. Typically Mosaic 2.0 would be minimum version for forms, although ISMAP was supported since 0.6B so you could manually enter url using `?url=...`.
## 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/).
* Later in 2014, version 2.0 became a stand alone http-proxy server, also support for both Linux/MacOS, [another post](https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2014/03/11/web-rendering-proxy-update//).
