HttpFileServer65 is inspired by "HFS ~ Http File Server" (http://www.rejetto.com/hfs/). It features an intuitive mapping of local disks and directories to HTTP paths. This allows to not only navigate to some file but to directly enter some file URL. This is especially usefull for downloads via wget, curl or alike.
However, in contrast to HFS it doesn't allow file uploads, only file downloads. On targets with complete DIO support it additionally allows disk image downloads.
Note: The Atari build currently fails as there's so far no getdevicedir() in the Atari C library.
This is just for the "C" interface of IP65. clk_timer.s replaces
atr_timer.s (on Atari) and is new for the C64 (there wasn't an
implementation for the "C" interface before).
The C library allows us manage de-initializations via atext() so we can avoid the explict timer_exit call necessary in atrtimer.s (used for assembler programs).
The HTTP callback is explicitly allowed to send the HTTP response on its own and set the carry to signal that. Therefore it seems reasonable to export httpd_send_response to allow the HTTP callback to make use of the given infrastructure to send the HTTP response.
Given that Telnet65's 80 column display requires an enhanced Apple //e anyway it seems reasonable to have the C applications benefit from building for that target too.
The date application isn't of much actual use. But it shows
- how easy to use the IP65 C API is
- the power of combining IP65 with the C library
(going from SNTP time format to a date string in two lines of code)
I don't have plans to support C programs on the VIC20. So now that there are C test programs the simplest solution is to not (try to) build VIC20 test programs as part of the default recipe.
