on your requirements, of course, but CGI or ISAPI apps are simple to write
with Delphi and IBO. At its simplest, it is an app that is run by your web
server software (Omni or Sambar for CGI or WinCGI, IIS or Omni for ISAPI)
that acts as a server-based "client", receiving and processing HTTP requests
from the web client (a browser) and sending back HTML in response.
