Hi Thaddy,
When I was trying FCL-WEB/Net, i was getting various errors, even some of the examples would not compile ( using latest trunk ).
I suspect most of the errors I was getting were down to not knowing exactly how the components worked, mainly lack of documentation that I could not find.
When I tried Indy, a lot more examples were available; and most worked straight off which were deigned for Indy 10.
I would however prefer to use FCL_WEB/NET as its part of the FPC/LAazarus Components.
What I trying to do is a similar to what IPCServer does but using TCP to allow communication over a network.
ie Server side listening on a port Ip number can change.
Client sending Text Messages to server, so needs to find server IP I suppose.
Total start and shutdown of the client app is inmportant, as the remote control is a console app that just sends a string based on the extra parameters it receives.
Word PowerPoint LibreWrite etc, can have macros to run external application which allows a simple and effeccient way to allow changinmg of main applicatioin values. Which SimpleIPC does well, but not suited for a network.
for example
remote_control p1 7689
would send command to main application to change P1 to 7689
I hope that make sense.
