|
|
I want to write a simple web server app (having played with the Java "Simple
Server" example at http://dattaraj_rao.tripod.com/Java/ ).
Any ideas on how to do this without using Indy? TIA,

There is no "simple" way to write a web server, because HTTP is not a
simple protocol to implement in the first place. It can be quite
complex, actually. You really should use a pre-made library (Indy or
other) as the basis of your code. Don't try to implement it from
scratch.

Thanks for that. It is complex! However, I did find an absolutely fabulous
small, free Windows-based web server that, IMO, is better than Apache and IIS.
It is called Key Focus Web Server (KFWS) and is available at
http://www.keyfocus.net/kfws/ - cool dudes, spread the word!
