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/PNG/JPEG image associated with clickable imagemap of original web links.

Current Status

This is a WebKit / Python version of WRP.
No longer maintained / supported.
You should be using GoLang/CDP version instead.
It mostly works for casual browsing but it's not very stable.
Secure aka https/SSL/TLS websites might work with use of sslstrip cheat (enabled by default).

OS Support

WRP works on macOS (Mac OS X), Linux and FreeBSD. On macOS it uses Cocoa Webkit, on Linux/FreeBSD QT Webkit, for which needs PyQT4 or PyQT5. It does not work on Windows. Use Go/CDP version for that.

Installation

macOS - should just work
Linux/FreeBSD install python-pyqt5.qtwebkit and sslstrip
For PythonMagick (Imagemagick library) install python-pythonmagick

Configuration

Edit wrp.py, scroll past Copyright section to find config parameters

Usage

Configure your web browser to use HTTP proxy at IP address and port where WRP is running. If using browsers prior to HTML 3.2, ISMAP option may need to be enabled. Check configuration.
