To make a webserver you need to create a TCP/IP server that listens on -default-
port 80 and understands the HTTP protocol. You did not tell what kind
of things your application does now that could be used for the webserver too.
Nor did you tell why you think you need Apache API for creating a webserver. Well
I do not know Apache API so please explain.

How did you implement http ? Did you think of using TIdHTTP ? Don't know if
it supports https though.

You can create a webserver using just sockets instead of a component. You have
to implement the http protocol yourself then. What you have in mind with 'using
the Apache API' I don't know.

If you mean: using code from the Apache project. Yes you can do that if you
follow the rules.
