# 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. It sends mouse clicks via ISMAP and keystrokes from a text box form input.
|
|
|
|
## Current Status
|
|
|
|
* This is a new reimplementation in GoLang/[ChromeDP](https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp).
|
|
* It's currently in beta but fully supported an maintained.
|
|
* Right now it works as browser-in-browser. A real http proxy mode is being investigated. Check [issue #35](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/issues/35) for updates.
|
|
* It now supports clicking on non-link elements (eg. cookie warnings) and sending keystrokes. Yes, you can login and use Gmail or play web based games from any old browser.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. [Download a WRP binary](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/releases/) and run it on a machine that will become your WRP server.
|
|
2. Point your legacy browser to `http://address:port` of WRP server. Do not set or use it as a "Proxy Server" (yet).
|
|
3. Type a search string or a http/https URL and click Go.
|
|
4. Adjust your screen width/height/scale/#colors to fit in your old browser.
|
|
5. Scroll web page by clicking on the in-image scroll bar.
|
|
6. Send keystrokes by filling in T input box and pressing Go.
