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.
Have you looked at the code ?
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.
Not correct. There is a component. The TCustomApplication descendent just uses the component. fphttpapp.pp contains the application. fphttpserver.pp contains the component. You can perfectly use the component. That's why I designed it like this, for use in a GUI.
