RE: [twsocket] Is there a way to download a file in threads?
The only shortcoming of ICS is the web server which has no official and/or optimized CGI/ISAPI component and by design async which is bad for a web server. SZ, why do you think async design is bad for a webserver?

Re: [twsocket] Is there a way to download a file in threads?
Hello, Well, async cannot take advantage of multi-processor systems. Also for CGI and ISAPI execution, threads seem to be a better way. And all the commercial Web servers I know such as IIS and Apache chose it for these reasons.

Well, async cannot take advantage of multi-processor systems. Also for CGI and ISAPI execution, threads seem to be a better way. And all the commercial Web servers I know such as IIS and Apache chose it for these reasons. You are mixing up two factors. Even on multi-processor system, one CPU is usually enough to handle connections. That doesn't prevent you from creating additional threads to process CGI and ISAPI requests - nobody says that such requests must execute in the context of the thread handling socket connections. One of my commercial designs is using this approach and it is working just great.

[twsocket] New release: minor bug fix, new sample
A new ICS version is available. A small bug has been fixed in the HTTP client component that affected authentication with iPlanet Web Proxy Server (found by Mr Bloms and Tomachinsky). A new console mode sample: ConUdpLstn. It is the GUI sample UdpLstn ported to console. It make use on the TConApplication object that is now included in ICS and many of you haven't probably noticed. It is worth looking at this object: it allows you to easily build an event driven console mode application. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
Re: Re[4]: [twsocket] NOFORMS and TWSocketServer
Only used. I even deleted all ICS dcu files. I created a new console mode application (D7), added NOFORMS in the project defines. Compilation gives a filesize: 39.424 Bytes. Added WSocket to the uses clause: 91.136 Bytes. Added WSocketS to the uses clause: 91.648 Bytes. Removed NOFORMS from the defines: 427.008 Bytes. Options are for debugging: no optimization, range checking enabled, I/O checking enabled, Overflow checking enabled, debug information enabled. My conclusion is that NOFORMS works very well, including with TWSocketServer. From Mail from me to Francois dd 24 aug 2004 (so the fix point is post that date): . wsocketS imports unit controls without using it (or is it for the USE_SSL?) anyway, it should be under IFDEF NOFORMS or USE_SSL or both. ... So simply putting controls under no_forms would probably fix it in an older version, should sb need it. -- To unsubscribe or change your settings for TWSocket mailing list please goto http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/twsocket Visit our website at http://www.overbyte.be
