Hi all, I would like to know if something I would like to do is possible. I want to turn an existing small application into a webserver using the Apache API - is this feasable? I am using Builder 6 to develop a small app that currently has http server ability, but this needs upgrading as https needs supporting, as well as various other bits and bobs. The initial intention was to use a WeOnlyDo http server component, or the MBed http server library. However, the WeOnlyDo component is limited to Windows only, and the MBed component is somewhat expensive. I want to know if it's possible to create a stand alone web server using the Apache API rather than another component or library. If I can do this then it's cheap, powerful, and plaform independent. I also don't really want to start ripping bits of Apache code out of the source and pasting them into Builder classes, and I don't want to create an Apache module. I can't find any documentation on this, which seems to indicate that you cannot do this, but can anyone confirm? Many thanks. Lee Colclough Software Engineer DataDialogs lee@**spam**faulty-towers.com
