Midas ... TServerSocket are obsolete?

[PhilDGS]

Hi;

All says that TServerSocket is obsolete component, as Indy or other well
known new components are better, as Indy.

But, for MIDAS (BDS2006), if we use TSocketConnection, the manual says: "To
use TSocketConnection, the application server must be running ScktSrvr.exe."

I added ScktSrvr functionality into my server side; but Scktsvr is built
with TServerSocket (obsolete ...). Is there a way for replacing this with an
INDY approach??.

Thank you very much.

Phil.

Hi Phil.
I'm still using Delphi7, but about the TServerSocket, I think that:

1. You must be running ScktSrvr.exe on Server side;
2. You could have problems with firewalls running your app over the
internet;
3. ScktSrvr hangs sometimes (in Delphi 7, sporadic).

What I do, is to use ScktSrvr source code into my own proyect. ScktSrvr uses
TServerSocket, which is called "obsolete".

So I want to know if it is a ScktSrvr approach builded using Indy
components.
