I need to start developing a simple web application, but it will not generate html, instead it will generate vxml code (similar to xml). I realize I will need to manually generate the vxml in my application - not a big deal, I can do that. I would like to use Delphi because I know Delphi, and dont want to get into java, jsp, perl, vb, etc. My web app will need to: - have database access, possibly ms sql - return vxml code instead of html - accept POSTS, I suppose (binary data, like a .wav file) and then email the file off as an attachment - run in Windows environment, probably could go either .NET or Win32 SO ...can I use Delphi for this? I have Delphi4 ...should I go ahead and get Delphi2005 ? Use Websnap? Web broker? asp.net? I'm thinking I dont need things like Intraweb and other RAD 3rd party tools because I'm not generating html etc. Someone pls set me straight. I have a feeling that what I'm proposing to do is simple - I'm just hoping someone will tell me, yes, I understand, you need to do this... thanks!

I do anyway, so that is the way to go <g>. www.matlus.com will have all that you need to create a web app. Just remember that **you** are responsible for maintaining state. I would just buy D5 C/S (which you could get cheap I would think) and go to coding.

Also since you're not doing html, a straight http server(Indy,ICS,etc..) would allow you to make a more custom solution, but this way would be more complicated.

Matlus is a great resource ...though it looks a bit dated by now. What if you want your app hosted on a commercial server ? I understand that most dont let you run ISAPIs. (?)

I can't remember any of the top of my head, search the borland.public.delphi.* groups under google for delphi hosting, its been talked about before. The ones that do should support ISAPIs. And there's always the option of renting dedicated server space, there's several companies that do this, even to the point of providing a terminal session login.

I have racks of servers running ISAPI with SQL server installed.
