I have an executable (written in C) that I want to execute each time some data are posted from a web form. The source of this executable is not available. Is it possible to create a Delphi app that will be able to receive the web posted data and then order this C app to run, passing to it some parameters? I want to call this Delphi app somehow like this: http://www.myserver.com/delphiApp.exe?x=1&y="foo" If this senario it viable, could someone please give me directions on delphi components needed. If not, any guideline to the "right" direction will be appreciated. thanks in advance. -- ***************************************************Home**** * Fotis Kokkoras - PhD * * Department of Informatics - Aristotle University * * Thessaloniki 540 06 - GREECE * *********************************************************** Back to top Wilbert van Leijen Guest Posted: Tue Sep 05, 2006 11:23 pm    Post subject: Re: Please, provide some guidelines "Fotis Kokkoras" <kokkoras (AT) csd (DOT) auth.gr> schreef in bericht Quote: Is it possible to create a Delphi app that will be able to receive the web posted data and then order this C app to run, passing to it some parameters? In general: no. Web modules cannot spawn their own subprocesses. But one can always come up with some scenario, like: have it executed by the scheduler of the webserver. If it writes out a file, it can be read by another program. And this can be a program that is invoked from the adress bar of a web browser.

Quote: Is this app a cgi app? If so, then use Indy to make the http request. If not, then use the windows api to launch the exe. The C app is just a console app. No GUI, no ability to communicate with the outer world. So, my idea was to write a Delphi ISAPI app to receive the http request and then call the C app from within the Delphi app using windows api (is it shellExecute?) any chance with it?

There is no Desktop under the IIS user account, but I don't think that should be a problem. I don't see any other reason it would not work. Here is a "Delphisized" routine to call ShellExecute procedure RunProgram(FileName: string; Params: string = ''); begin ShellExecute(0, nil, PChar(FileName), PChar(Params), nil, SW_SHOWNORMAL); end; -Bill Egge Back to top Srinivasan Iyer Guest Posted: Wed Sep 13, 2006 11:10 pm    Post subject: Re: Please, provide some guidelines You might want to investigate Realthinclient SDK at http://www.realthinclient.com/ Srini.
