A small PHP server handles the chat requests, while stunnel provides HTTPS support for modern API endpoints.\n\nModels are defined in an INI file. Each model can have its own API endpoint, API key, model ID, streaming setting, token limit, and timeout. OpenAI-compatible APIs are supported.\n\nThe same configuration file also manages users, model access, language preferences, and keyboard behavior.\n\nstoneChat runs on Windows with PHP 5.4 or newer and starts through RUN.cmd.\n\nGitHub: [https://github.com/Water-Run/stoneChat](https://github.com/Water-Run/stoneChat)\n\nLicense: WTFPL", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6-windows-xp", "canonical_source": "https://dev.to/water_run_305f6dfd401fdaf/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6windows-xp-2i93", "published_at": "2026-07-18 06:25:21+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-07-18 06:57:58.072950+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["large-language-models", "developer-tools", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["stoneChat", "Internet Explorer 6", "Windows XP", "PHP", "stunnel", "OpenAI", "GitHub"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6-windows-xp", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6-windows-xp.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6-windows-xp.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/stonechat-an-llm-web-chat-built-natively-for-ie6-windows-xp.jsonld"}}
