Jeremy,

I know you probably aren't after this kind of reply, but I would reconsider your approach. If you are building this functionality into an application that has other desktop uses (eg, a word processor etc) then consider using a TCP interface instead since it won't tie up port 80 which may be used for browsing the web. If you are building a server based app that will just sit there and respond to requests, then consider building an ISAPI DLL (very straightforward). An ISAPI DLL will run under under the IIS on Win2000 so you don't need to worry about getting a server version.

Hi All. I want to add some functionality to my App. so that it uses an HTTP server to receive commands and pass back a success or fail.
I have looked at the INDY and ICS HTTP Server controls, but they seem slightly more complex than I need.
All I want to do is go, I have a POST, therefor fire this function and based on the boolean result, send back a yes or a no.
I have looked at the Synapse HTTPServer demo, and it is just what I think I need, but firstly threads do my head in, I would need to call a function on the form that is the parent for the HTTP Server and pass back a boolean value so it knew what to reply, but like i say, threads do my head in.
 
Has anyone else got a res. good HTTP server control/code OR managed to do what I want to do with the Synapse controls?
