I understand these security reasons and I agree, of course... But this Exe that I am talking about should be installed for all machines that want use the system so, won't be a problem for security. > ActiveX is indeed the closest thing to it, as it is like a program that is > run from the browser, but in some kind of sandbox that does not allow it to > do too much damage, although someone probably found a security issue with it > and wrote a virus maybe years ago.. Unfortunatelly I think either Chrome doesn't use it or there are some restrictions... and they can cut off — if still working — in the future, I don't know. I would like to use something simpler, that doesn't depends of Microsoft's stuff. I'm still thinking on these options: 1. NativeMessaging: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/nativeMessaging 2. to make an app that will be a local web server, after the user has installed. The web real app could make requests to http//localhost and have a communication between them. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
