Due to popular demand... The source and a binary release note that this is a very early release it is full of bugs. I literally spend just a few hours on this without knowing VB6 before I started:

@maartje I looked at the API myself a couple days ago and made a very simple proof of concept at fetching public posts. Very easy to use. I love that you got it going on such an old OS. Now can we get it connected with a BBS server.

@maartje which area are you working on? Should we organize by creating issues and grabbing them or do you want to work on it for yourself some more?

@dunkelstern currently the area I am working on is sleeping. 😴

Feel free to make issues and “self-assign” them!

I will probably do some more work on it but I don’t have a specific domain to tackle

@maartje I suddenly wonder if it can be backported to VB4 (purely because it's the last version to support Win16, so that Mastodon 3.11 for Workgroups can run on Windows 3.11 for Workgroups)...

@maartje went to check the code to see how did yo deal with SSL as AFAIK current versions are not available in old Windows... and there it is in the Readme: "You need a HTTPS to HTTP proxy". Brilliant! :)

@pjperez I originally planned to try importing a modern libcurl like the DOS client does but it would cost a lot of time while I recommend WebOne a lot for all retro users! It even repairs some old apps by using archive.org
