Email and Usenet suite for the Apple //e or GS with Uthernet-II ethernet card
29793d4814
IP65 doesn't support TCP flow control. Therefore it doesn't make sense to write a program receiving a significant amount of data via TCP using IP65. From that perspective it makes sense that IP65's HTTP client doesn't allow to handle incoming data with a callback but requires a buffer being able to hold the whole HTTP body. However, on the Apple II there's the Uthernet II card with its W5100 Ethernet controller chip. That chip has it's own TCP implementation supporting TCP flow control. Therefore the wget65 program uses the W5100 TCP capabilities for the HTTP client. But even with the W5100 TCP implementation in place IP65 still plays a role for the wget65 program as it desires DHCP and requires (usually) DNS. Both are not supported by the W5100 capabilities. |

IP65 consists of three parts:
- A TCP/IP library to be used by 6502 asm programmers using the ca65 macro assembler
- A TCP/IP library to be used by C programmers using the cc65 6502 C cross compiler
- Several ready-to-run TCP/IP programs using one of the libraries
All three parts are available for three 6502 based target systems:
- The C64
- The Apple II
- The ATARI (XL)
IP65 requires Ethernet hardware. There's no support for TCP/IP over serial connections whatsoever.
On the C64 there are two supported Ethernet carts:
On the Apple II there are three supported Ethernet cards:
- The Uthernet - emulated by AppleWin and GSport
- The LANceGS
- The Uthernet II
On the ATARI (XL) there is one supported Ethernet cart:
- The Dragon Cart - emulated by Altirra
