The .NET item of the FAQ also mentions Java: http://www.hu.freepascal.org/faq.var#dotnet > An acceptable alternative would be to write a desktop application that > connects to a server-side application or an HTML form.

Something equivalent to LWP for Perl > for instance? I've no idea, but I assume one could write a header to the libwww lib on which this module is based. Or one could try to craft something like that using parts that are already there, there are mime encoders/decoders and HTTP clients in e.g. Indy. (which in general supports a lot of internet protocols) But I don't think this is a desirable solution if sb also has control over the server side. Then one can better work with a dedicated server application or communicate with a serverside app with e.g. SOAP. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
