I know how to do it with with a http connection and 'connect', but was wondering if this is not already automated with a server-client implementation like TWTunnelSocket and TWTunnelServer. What are you trying to achieve, with what protocol? Angus We have a program that controls equipment. This program constantly sends log and error information to our supervisors room at our company so that any problem can instantly be addressed by one of our technicians. The connection is a TWSocket on the client side that connects to our server that uses a TWSocketServer to listen for connections. We now have a new client that refuses to open the port necessary for the equipment to log on to our server. However, http surfing is liberated. I would like to know the simplest solution to make a connection and pass the same data as always embedded in html.

Since you control the client and server, surely you can just update them to use port 80 or 443 (TSocketServer has multilisten to support multiple IPs and ports) and continue using your existing protocol. If your customer has a proxy or firewall than insists on checking for the HTTP protocol, use the web server component and PUT or POST your data, obviously more work than adding an extra listener but not too hard.
