Angus, So it does sound like this is at least possible :)
Unfortunately my inexperience with ICS is now going to Show rather quickly. I've been looking at the Webserver demo that ships withICS as a basis of what I'm try to achieve. Please forgive my questions if they are somewhat newbie! You wrote, > In the GetDocument event, for your specific path/URL you need to set: > Flags := hgWillSendMySelf; > RemoteClient.KeepAlive = TRUE; So, do I need to do the same for PostDocument? The webserver example uses PostDocument and PostedData. The PostDocument event in the demo requires the Flag parameter to be set to Flags := hgAcceptData before the PostedData event fires. Changing this to Flags := hgWillSendMySelf prevents this from happening. So how would I get the posted data with this change? Apologies if this is way off the mark, ICS is quite different from Indy ;) Thanks for your valuable input!

Remember that ICS is async, so the server is blocked while processing events like GetDocument, that why you need a timer to send your responses, not a never ending loop as in an Indy thread.
