Hi,

the indy people seem only to support/work on the Tuburon branch. For me it works on windows. But I have no luck on MACOSX! seems to be a problem with lib-iconv - but the only one on the indy-mailing-list (Remy Lebeau) claims to have no FPC at all...

So my question is:
is there actually someone using INDY10 with FPC on other platforms than windows? version of IINDY, FPC, OS?

If not - is there someone interested in it - or are the alternatives suiting your needs? If so - what are you using?

I have been using indy9 on delphi for a long time and know that it is a buggy thing. But I never found something more complete (in the meaning of supporting protocols) and have fixed a lot and done a lot of different projects using it.

Do you think the Indy team would welcome some assistance with the MacOS version of Indy 10. I am def ineterested in Indy 10 on MacOS (Snow Leopard)

Yes. It sounds like they first implemented Tiburon support, and then started to port it. Now the iconv interface doesn't seem to match the windows behaviour.

(they rely on an early knowledge on how big the converted string is going to be to allocate it)

So my question is: is there actually someone using INDY10 with FPC on other platforms than windows? version of IINDY, FPC, OS?

I have, but not the Tiburon branch. Lazarus designer packages are not in the Tiburon branch either.

IMHO none, though you can use Synapse for selected issues. (the number of protocols is slowly growing there).

But I'd rather spend time on fixing Indy. Problem is that it is not a priority for me now.

Indy10 is way less buggy then indy9. Unfortunately it is simply less known, tested and documented.

I use Ararat Synapse (http://ararat.cz/synapse/doku.php). Works fine so far.

Hi Prince,

yes I think help could be useful. If you are familiar with ICONV and would like to help you can check out INDY10 at: https://svn.atozed.com:444/svn/Indy10/branches/Tiburon

The public user acount has been renamed to "Indy-Public-RO" with no password.

give it a simple try:

uses
IdHTTP

with TidHTTP.Create(nil) do
begin
     Rsp := TStringSTream.Create('');
     Get('http://www.google.de', Rsp);
end;

regards
