MacHTTP

A very basic C++ class for making HTTP requests on 68k classic Macs. Supports both HTTP and HTTPS (TLS 1.2) communication via a single set of functions.

MacHTTP is designed to be built with the Retro68 GCC cross-compiler.

See the MacHttpTest application for an example of usage.

Building & Installing

MacHTTP requires Retro68 for compilation, and the following libraries:

• MacTCPHelper
• mbedtls-Mac-68k

First build and install the above libraries, then execute these commands from the top level of the MacHTTP directory:

cd ..
mkdir MacHTTP-build
cd MacHTTP-build
cmake ../MacHTTP -DCMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE=<<YOUR_PATH_TO_Retro68-build>>/toolchain/m68k-apple-macos/cmake/retro68.toolchain.cmake
make install

This will build and install the library and headers into the m68k-apple-macos toolchain.

The MacHttpTest application will be in the MacHTTP-build directory.
