PI.HTTP

PI.HTTP Special file prefix

TIPI supports accessing files by URL for read.

Files are specified with the prefix "PI.HTTP" or "PI.http", "PI.HTTPS" or "PI.https"

For example:

PI.http://www.cwfk.net/4afiles/AMBULANCE

Loading program image files is only supported if the hosted file is a TIFILES format FIAD file.

Other types of files may be loaded and TIPI will treat them as raw binary files, breaking the data up into records matching the open-mode record length.

Aliases

"URI1.", "URI2.", and "URI3." aliases can be mapped as shortcuts to long URLs making this more compatible with legacy software written for a 32 column screen.

If you have "URI3." mapped as such:

URI3=http://www.cwfk.net/4afiles

Then you can load AMBULANCE in EA5 by entering:

URI3.AMBULANCE
