Could you use Opera Mini servers for this? It will be nice to have a desktop browser that will work like Opera Mini on the Java phones.

I did consider using webview / webkit but in the prototype I wanted specifically to experiment with Chrome Headless and the DevTools Protocol. I don’t know if it’s better or worse, this is why I’m still prototyping. So far it works quite well so unless I encounter a major obstacle I will probably stick with it.
Yes I’m considering full proxy mode, however the main problem is with HTTPS of course. While HTTP 1.1 capable browsers will usually issue CONNECT, this is not the case with the browsers I’m targeting, which mostly are pre 1.1. At some point I will go through most of the old browsers and discover how they proxy HTTPS and see how to satisfy that. There are also browsers that do not even have https at all. A man in the middle may work for that. I think in the end WRP may offer both browser in browser and proxy modes.

Nice to see WRP still alive! I have used it to showing up to my friend that my old browser is capable to open modern webpage, hahaha. 😀

As I’m Go programmer, often coding for backends, I just have little suggestions:
* There was awesome webview library that fits in Go like this https://github.com/zserge/webview (not sure if this fits in, but could be your good candidate) 🙂
* And finally, if you decide make HTTP Proxy version too, this goproxy (https://github.com/elazarl/goproxy) may fits your needs. I have used to trap and debugging HTTP traffics and this one works well.

That looks pretty awesome to abuse! tuntap/l2 bridging/slirp/HECnet/DOSBox IPX why the possibilities are endless!

Not that I’d suggest using it to smuggle data, but it’s certainly good for smuggling data.

You rock!
