Hi,

I want to use Indy to do the same thing that I knew
with TClientSocket/TServerSocket:

1) TClientSocket (ctNonBlocking) sends buffer of data
(possibly lots of data) to TServerSocket( stBlocking/
OnGetThread )

2) TServerSocket receives data in a thread, in nagotiated
protocol, for example: "buffer_length buffer"

3) TServerSocket sends back the confirmation to client
that the operation was successful or not.

* Which Indy components are the most suitable for that
(I suppose TIdTCPClient/TIdTCPServer)?

* Am I supposed to send data in peaces (buffer portins),
then look how much data was actually sent, and continue
from that place like I did with TClientSocket/TServerSocket?
The same was with server.

* I looked at methods of TIdTCPClient::TIdConnection
and I saw many methods for sending data:
Write, WriteBuffer, WriteCardinal, WriteFile, WriteHeader,
WriteInteger, WriteLn, WriteSmallInt, WriteStream,
WriteStrings.

I remember that even in TClientSocket I had SendText()
which was not reliabe because noone can guarantee that
*all*  the buffer will be sent at the same time.

Is the same here?

* Can someone show some working code?
