(OK, I cross-posted, but in hindsight the.toolsapi NG didn't seem to be
the right place to post so...)

I need a hint about the best suitable component for the following. I
plan to "speak URL" with a web-API which I expect to return pages & data
listings in different formats (like Xml, Html etc etc). Is there any
nice component to use from my Delphi program as a broker for such "talk"?

Example of API which I'd like to speak to is Mediawiki. This API covers
fairly well the kind of results I need to get a handle on from my app.

Hints about a suitable component which would provide me with the
functionality for this kind of use would be most appreciated. I need
something I could easily wrap or subclass in order to adapt it.

I haven't tried this before, so any related advice is welcome. Using
D7, 2005 or 2006.

Regards,
