# 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](https://github.com/chromedp/chromedp) version.
|
|
* It's still lacking some features of the [older version](/old) but far surpasses it in terms of stability and usability.
|
|
* It's beta quality but comared to the older version, it's now maintainable and supportable.
|
|
* Currently 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.
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
1. [Download a WRP binary](https://github.com/tenox7/wrp/releases) and run on a server/gateway.
|
|
2. Point your legacy browser to `http://address:port` of WRP server. Do not 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. For very very very old browsers such as Mosaic 2.x and IBM WebExplorer 1.x tick 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.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
-l listen address:port, default :8080
