I'm another person on the hunt for TIdServerCompressionIntercept, the
closest I've got is this
message from the Google archive of this group, posted a long time ago in
reply to some other poor soul who'd got code that won't compile.

Which version of Indy 9 are you using? In my copy,
TIdServerCompressionIntercept is declared in TIdCompressionIntercept.pas,
the same file that declares the TIdCompressionIntercept component. It was
added well over a year ago. If you do not have it, then you most likely
have a very old version and should seriously consider upgrading.

Neat, eh, he answers the question without actually saying which version of
Indy has it! Well I'm using
9.0.18 which I just downloaded from from the main A2Z site, (complete with
the special installer
program) and that hasn't got the component. I also looked on Sourceforge,
but I couldn't download any
files and Indy 9.1 didn't have any files associated with it, what's going
on there?

I need it as the IndySoap components won't compile without it unless you
have compression switched off
in the defines. If you do have compression switched off in the defines
then it compiles but doesn't
work at runtime, you get the error "compression was switched off in the
defines". Brilliant eh!

Somehow, somewhere there was once a version of Indy that would allow the
IndySoap components to
compile with compression switched on in the defines and it would work as
well. Which version was it
and where can I find a copy?

Alternatively if someone has the code for TIdServerCompressionIntercept,
please post it here and I'll
use that.

Thanks

Thanks I checked www.projectindy.org (which is where I got 9.0.18 from an
not A2Z as I previously said), and the latest it has listed, apart from
the development snapshot is 9.0.18 (the website dates it as 11-Nov-2004).
Which is very odd as the latest IndySoap is way back in 2003 and that uses
TIdServerCompressionIntercept. Also date on the IdCompressionIntercept.pas
is 13-Jun-2004 which is earlier than the listed date for 9.0.18. It's a
bit confusing trying to work out which version to use which is why I have
to come here to find out.

I had to fiddle with IndySoap to get that to compile as well and I see
that setting the compression property on the client side does nothing
other than set an internal field. It doesn't attach the client version of
the compression intercept, whereas the server.compression property does
attach the server version of the compression intercept, whether you set
compression to true or false! Why are there different versions for client
and server anyway? I assume that they both use much the same code to go to
Zlib. It's all a bit weird.

Thanks anyway.
