Hi, Can anybody make recommendations for embedding a HTTP Server into a GUI application?
ps: I'm using FPC 2.6.2, and the end result application will run under Windows (primarily) and Linux. 1) My initial thought was to use Synapse. The TTCPHTTPDaemon seems pretty simple to use, is already a component, and easily embedded in a GUI [fpGUI] application. 2) I also looked at nYume - a very small HTTP (console) Server that seems easy enough to convert into a "http server component", which I can then run in a separate thread - embedded in my GUI app. 3) I understand Free Pascal also includes a HTTP Server now. I think it is the one I found in fcl-web demos directory. It is a TCustomApplication descendant - so will need some work to get working in fpGUI based apps, seeing that fpGUI apps are not based on TCustomApplication. Anybody used any of these in any GUI environment as an embedded HTTP server? Any pros or cons on each? Any other HTTP server components I should maybe try? Background info: I need to embed the HTTP server into a GUI (desktop) application for two products. One will be the application server in a 3-tier application (communication is done via HTTP). The other product is a teaching program that will launch a web browser (pointing to the embedded server) and serving CGI apps that does the actual teaching for the student.
