Getting TLS 1.2 and 1.3 working on Windows 3.1 so that WinGPT could directly connect to OpenAI's server without relying on a modern machine for TLS termination.

That's in a separate page here: https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/tls.html

...and is well worth reading. I'm surprised you had trouble getting a TLS implementation to fit in 64k of code and data, since a lot of deeply-embedded stuff (some even using 8-bit CPUs with bankswitching) for IoT and similar applications support TLS 1.2.

So glad to see someone working on TLS 1.3 for Windows 3.1.

It's a sad day when slightly older operating systems have trouble accessing the internet.

Maybe some of those chips have some hardware support for crypto?
