Well, this is defenitely not a case where multithreading is needed because ICS HTTP component is asynchronous. HTTP component doesn't block ! It automatically handle your requests in the background using events. If you need to handle 100 simultaneous requests, then simply use 100 HTTP components and async methods (GetAsync and the likes) and events (OnRequestDone and the likes). btw: Not all Windows versions are able to handle 100 simultaneous connections ! This is not a limitation of ICS, it is a built-in limitation in some Windows versions. You need a "Windows Server" edition to be able to handle hundreds of simultaneous connections. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.overbyte.be ----- Original Message ----- From: "Flash Thunder" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 11:09 PM Subject: Re: [twsocket] Multithreaded http... > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Francois PIETTE" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: "ICS support mailing" <twsocket@elists.org> > Sent: Wednesday, April 13, 2005 10:13 PM > Subject: Re: [twsocket] Multithreaded http... > > > > > I'm kinda new in Delphi but i really really need to write some > > > application...
