fpWeb | fcl-web | fphttpserver ?

(1/1)

Jorg3000:
Hi!
In my search for an HTTP server component, I came across these 3 wiki pages.

https://wiki.freepascal.org/fcl-web
https://wiki.freepascal.org/fpWeb_Tutorial
https://wiki.freepascal.org/fphttpserver

Are they the same component?

Is fpHttpServer based on fpWeb or is it a parallel development?

nummer8:
fphttpserver is a stand alone httpserver component
fcl-web is a set of components where fphttserver is one of them
fpweb-tutorial is a tutorial written by leledumbo on how to use the components of fcl-web 

egsuh:
Install package "weblaz", from the Package menu of your Lazarus IDE.

Once installed, you can create New Project in HTTPServer, CGI server, or FCGI server.
Then you can follow fpWeb_Tutorial.

Leledumbo:
I'll reorder in terms of dependencies, bottom up.

Tutorial I wrote to use fpWeb, a web application framework built on top of fcl-web. It can use fphttpserver as the underlying HTTP server implementation or any other available implementations (CGI, FastCGI, Apache Module, libmicrohttp based), including yours if you want to write one yourself.
