PureBasic Forums - English

I have a program for a wifi enabled ZX Spectrum that allows it to .wget a file from a http site, not file://, not ftp:// and not https://.

For me to work with this program, I need to download files from a http:// website.

Is there any thing I can use in Purebasic that will alllow me to run a virtual http site on my WIFI connection or otherwise to fool the Spectrum into thinking it is downloading from a http site, when in fact it is downloading from my Windows PC?

Hi matalog,

For a PureBasic solution there is Atomic Server by idle.

In addition, a simple solution even if just to test:
➤ Enable IIS, drop your file in C:\inetpub\wwwroot, and you should be able to Wget it using any of the following:
• http://localhost
• http://127.0.0.1
• http://[LOCAL IP ADDRESS]

Amazing, thanks the IIS means I can have a quick test. It's a handy little thing that wasn't automatically installed by Windows.
