Re: [Lazarus] HTTP and POP3 client components
Thanks, HTTP client works nicely right now (doing GET). Next on the to-try list is sending button-press, edit-field etc, but I suppose this is just a matter of setting up the appropriate URL string. After this I will try to receive a Mail using the POP3 client.

Next on the to-try list is sending button-press, edit-field etc, but I suppose this is just a matter of setting up the appropriate URL string. that and getting the method right... on some sites you can use GET with parameters in the URL but POST doesn't go that way... some sites will take either POST or GET for submitting data but others will only take POST...

More talk to myself... It does install but when installing it the IDE says it has no register, thus no visual components are created.

That said, the advantage of having these classes visual is nearly non-existent.

[Lazarus] HTTP and POP3 client components
Hi, Sorry for being a nuisance again :-[ We need to do a command line program to run n Linux (PC, later ARM), that reads a mail via POP3 and then does some communication towards some HTTP server (reading some pages and setting a value with some cgi program running there.) I do know that decent HTTP and POP3 components are available with Indy, but I am afraid of trying to use Indy on Lazarus/ARM/Linux. As we already successfully did an FTP client program on Lazarus with lnet, I decided to try to use lnet, here again. So I installed the latest lnet package and found that in fact a HTTP client component is available. Up till now, I failed to find a decent documentation, so I was not able to read a page from a web server (in fact I would need a proxy for some environments, but - at least on Linux - I suppose there is a system wide proxy definition that might automatically apply. In fact connect seems to work, but what now ? Seemingly lnet does not provide a POP3 client component out of the box. So what to do ? Thanks for any pointers, -Michael -- ___ Lazarus mailing list Lazarus@lists.lazarus.freepascal.org http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
