New to Delphi, but more than 20 years of programming experience.
I need to begin a new project for a self contained http web server executable that does not depend on any Apache, IIs, etc.
I am thinking about buying the new Deplhi XE2 Professional because the Enterprise version is too expensive, and I am looking for advice on how to do it and what is the best technology to use, with some source code examples to begin with, if possible.
The project does not require any intensive performance, being the maximum concurrent sessions no more than 20 users, with an average of 1 to 5 connected users at the same time.
It will we be about 12 dynamic html web pages only, without any static html one, all generated from variable SQL data.
As other projects that like this one I have done for several years and used in production environments using RealBasic, all the pages will be generated dynamically by code. That is, with code like sPg := '<HTML><HEAD>......', sPg := sPg + '........</HTML>' and sending it to the Internet through something like Object.Print sPg.
I am confused about the amount of available technologies in Delphi: Sockets, Indy, IntraWeb, WebBroker, WebSnap, etc. So, this is why I want to make sure to choose the correct one from the beginning.
