Yes as part of the Indy10 suite. Indy has been part of Delphi for many
years and is easily installed in Lazarus/Fpc too using the OnLine
Package Manager.

You can also get all the sources via SVN:
https://svn.atozed.com:444/!/#Indy10

Read Only Login: Indy-Public-RO  (Empty password)

I use it all the times for all needs concerning network operations.
It has a LOT of specialized components like servers and clients of
various types.

And there is a dedicated forum where the maintainers can be reached
for questions and advice:

Please consider support for TLS 1.3  (all
new web servers should use it).

GnuTLS  is a very good library (I've used it about
two years at company). Its API is clean, small, massively documented
, and its ABI is very stable
(about 99.83~100% between 2015-2018).

Cheers

p.s.: I made a X.509 based authentication using OpenSSL. Its API is a
little bit ugly and confuse, so I spent about three weeks working on that.
After, I did the same work using GnuTLS, so I spent just five days because
its API is better and contais this good manual
.

Mr. Bee, you could use stunnel in the meantime, and look into 
implementing fcgi into simpleserver? :)


What's your objective? Small servers like mini_httpd can be made to run 
freepascal binaries with little fuss, and would be sufficient for 
everything up until professional usage. At which point I would advise 
using apache or nginx anyways.


Michael, neat, didn't know that was in there. Will have to check it out.

FPC has a HTTP server. See the simpleserver demo under fcl-web.

It does not support https yet, but this is planned for the near future.

It does not support forwarding requests to (F)CGI but this is easy 
enough to

add.

[fpc-pascal] FPC-based http/s server

[Mr Bee via fpc-pascal]

Hi all,
Is there any open source, maintained and updated HTTP server using FPC out 
there? I need a lightweight HTTP server written in FPC that supports 
Linux/Unix, F/CGI app, and HTTPS. It'd be better if it doesn't need external or 
third-party units such as Indy or Synapse, but only pure FPC standard units 
such as fpHTTP* and fpWeb* units.
Google only gave me some old (back to early 2000) and abandoned projects 
written in Delphi mixed with inline assembler and Windows' API, also don't 
support HTTPS.
Thank you.
Regards,
–Mr Bee
