[Leonardo M. Ramé]

Hi, I need to create a web app and don't whant to use CGI or Apache modules, in fact I whant to
create my own web server that serves only an embedded app.

Anyone knows anithing like this?, if I'm not wrong Jason P. Sage was looking for something similar.

As far as I know, Lnet contains an embedded webserver.
The fpc-xml also has one, in combination with fpasync.

fpc-xml should be part of a normal fpc installation afaik

The lazarus wiki contains a lcl page; the rest is part of FPC by default.

You could also try Indy for FPC, I don't know if Synapse has a server component,
it definitely has client components.

I learned a lot while hunting for a web server. I have not needed nor
investigated embedded web server's but perhaps you will find success
with these items like I did:

FPC Multi-Threading Support
FPC Socket Lib
TProcess (Or the Process Unit) for launching external processes. (Not
sure this applies to your application)

I was quite impressed with nYume Web Server by the "Replicator" in
Russia, which is less then 1000 lines of code I THINK.

I learned a lot and now have a web server totally written in FPC that is
1.7 times faster than apache on static web pages (bench marked using ab,
same html pages, same machine etc)

I was able to use FPC process unit to create direct CGI support (
executable cgi apps), Perl (via cgi) , and PHP (via CGI), and my
executable can run as a webserver or a multi-threaed CGI client system
- with a simple change to the config file. So now I have two major ways
to deploy my web applications written in FPC: CGI or Standalone - Which
is WebServer + Built in Application Mode.

I managed virtual host support, and apache compatible logging in
apache's "combined" mode.

Here is the link to the nYume Web Server's downloads.

I learned a lot from this guy's code, help on this forum, and just
banging away all on my keyboard all hours night and day ... so if you
have any questions - feel free to ask - I MAY be able to save you a
minute.
