By the way, after several weeks of research, I came to the conclusion for
myself that the least-complicated way to get TLS access for old Apple
computers is to use an Apache web server with its TLS proxy modules.

What you do is to send a GET request to the proxy web server which has a
fully-qualified URL, ie, https://macgui.com/vault/ in the GET line.

The web server proxies this request, then returns the HTTP response back to
the client (my Apple II, or whatever) as plaintext.

Note that the proxy also takes care of a DNS lookup.

This proxy server could be local to your home network, or it could be hosted
on the public Internet.

The Apache web server can also proxy FTP requests through HTTP.

Hi,

....or it could run on a Raspberry Pi connected via a short patch cable
directly to your Uthernet II. Then the Raspberry Pi could also work like a
wireless bridge for the Apple II. Additionally you could run other programs
on the Raspberry Pi:
- ADTPro Virtual Ethernet Drive
- Emai//er Email Gateway (http://bobbi.epizy.com/?i=1)
- ...

I created some related info:
