We use it for all of our COM stuff and for all of our stand alone Windows
apps. Delphi can be used as a CGI by using its ISAPI capabilities. There are
those that argue that Delphi's ISAPI is superior(in speed) to ASP,CF, or
whatever. I still think that it is personal preference as to what any
developer uses. I am not sure how you would set up your web server to use
Delphi's ISAPI, but it is an option that you have.
One thing we consider when we are trying to decide what 'Technology' to use,
is when the person who creates this app is gone, how hard is it to find good
CF,ASP, or Delphi programmers?
HTH,

For those that are using Delphi, what role does it play in the
internet? Is it being used strictly for COM access with CF, or are there
hidden web abilities some of us may be unaware of?
