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 (eg real http proxy mode and image manipulation) but it surpases it in terms of stability and usability.
  • It's beta quality but I can fix/maintain the code unlike the older version.

Todo

  • Configurable color palete and quantization.
  • Real http proxy support via goproxy - if you really need a real proxy for now try old/ version.
  • Padded box model coordinates.
  • Input boxes support. However today you can cheat by using headed mode and input your data on the WRP server.

Usage

  1. Download a WRP binary 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/heigh/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.

Flags

-l  listen address:port, default :8080
-h  headed mode, display browser window
-d  chromedp debug logging
