Re: Delphi Socket Servers: If you were shown how, would you?

Dennis,

Are there any Delphi Developers with web sites based on pure Delphi
server technology? Any Indy powered sites? RealThinClient sites?
Delphi/Asp.net sites? Kylix? Delphi/ISAPI/WebBroker sites? How about
the good ole original tServerSocket components? How about Eldos'
SecureBlackbox server tech? And I bet I just forgot five other Delphi
technologies out there...

We are doing exactly this for all of our products that need an HTTP/HTTPS
interface - own webserver that's compiled with Delphi for Windows, and
with CrossKylix for Linux.

It's great. It's the best way to create scaling web applications - you
don't waste the server's power with all kinds of module indirections for
each request, and you don't bog down the system with slow server-side
scripting languages, but instead use fast native code.


And therefore design and implementation is SIMPLIFIED.

Both 64-bit issues and Linux issues within Borland/Codegear can only be
fully understood and championed by Server Guys. There aren't any in Borland
Delphi R&D and there never have been; and that's what we've got a bunch of
marketeers chasing Microsoft's tail instead of innovating something of their
own...

In my opinion. <g>
