Yes it does use sockets, BUT if you download the synapse components from http://www.ararat.cz/synapse/ there is a demo in there under the demos/http/ dir called httpdemo which shows you how to do an http post. Basically if you go to a website and you press the submit button, it posts what you have entered into the boxes to another webpage. what these components do, is post the contents of a delphi prom to the same page. Basically it emulates you pressig the submit button...if you follow.
