Hi, I am working on a project for a client to create reports from a SQL db.. I am very good with writing ASP pages to generate the reports my client wants. My problem is that they are not currently running IIS on any of their Win 2000 Servers. Can I create a Delphi app that is a webserver? Ideally, the program could be the server and the browser.. I could also create the reports in straight HTML instead of ASP, but I'd still like to be able to have my app serve the HTML pages into a TBrowser component on the main form.. Is this possible?

Just look around at places like http://www.torry.net, http://www.vclcomponents.com, etc. Or have a look at Indy (http://www.indyproject.org) or ICS ([url]http://www.overbyte.be)[/url], they both include server components, amongst other things.

There is a bunch of sample apps included in a separate download at Nevrona and other places. In there is a HTTPServer sample that shows how to do it. If you can use WebBroker then you won't have much trouble using this, if you don't mind using sources to learn from. Have a peek at my site written with it here: http://community.ibobjects.com One thing is for sure, it's really easy to debug your web app when it simply runs as an app. Kind regards, Jason Wharton http://www.ibobjects.com Back to top Charles Stack Guest Posted: Wed Nov 19, 2003 4:04 am    Post subject: Re: Delphi App as Web Server? I'd suggest WWS (Winshock Web Server) from Brain Patchworks. It is 100% Delphi, supports server-side scripting, Cold Fusion and a bunch of other stuff. We use it at work over IIS...it rocks. http://www.winshock.com/winshock/wws/information/ Cheers, Charles "Richard Morey" <rwmorey71 (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote Quote: Hi, I am working on a project for a client to create reports from a SQL db..

There is a web server written in Delphi called WebWeaver. http://www.brswebweaver.com/index.php You could also use Apache on the Win2K machines. Do you really need to reinvent the wheel and write a new web server starting with HTTP components (such as ICS and Indy) or are you just trying to find an alternative to IIS?

Sometimes, when you simply want to server a specific set of pages, or want a really fast, compact server for a specific purpose, it does make sense...
