## History
* In 2014, version 1.0 started as a cgi-bin script, adaptation of `webkit2png.py` and `pcidade.py`, [blog post](http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2014/03/11/web-rendering-proxy-update/).
* Later in 2014, version 2.0 became a stand alone http-proxy server, also support for both Linux/MacOS, [another post](http://virtuallyfun.superglobalmegacorp.com/2014/03/03/surfing-modern-web-with-ancient-browsers/).
* In 2016 the whole internet migrated to HTTPS/SSL/TLS and WRP largely stopped working. Python code became unmaintainable and mostly unportable (especially to Windows, even WSL).
* In 2019 WRP 3.0 has been rewritten in Golang/Chromedp as browser-in-browser instead of http proxy.
* Later in 2019, WRP 4.0 was refactored to use ISMAP x,y coordinates as mouse clicks instead of iterating DOM for A HREF nodes. Also in 4.1 added sending keystrokes in to web forms. You can now login to Gmail.
