Kostas Terzides has started playing with DataSnap recently. He contacted me to add his his DataSnap components to MidEss. I'm hoping his addition to the project will energize it once again. Thanks for volunteering, and welcome!

Ages ago, back when httpsrvr first came out, I got it working with Apache for a client. Recently, I came across a post by Sydney Delieu in the borland.public.datasnap group outlining the steps needed to get this working today. It strikes me that things are quite a bit easier today than before to get this working, but I did test these directions, and they work well.

I use Apache 2.0.52 with httpsrvr.dll. To get it working:

1. Install Apache (I will assume default directory structure for 2.0.52).
2. Copy 'httpsrvr.dll' to your /apache2/cgi-bin directory.
3. In httpd.conf, change the 'Options None' (again assuming defaults for 2.0.52) in <Directory "C:\Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/cgi-bin"> to 'Options ExecCGI'.
4. AddHandler isapi-isa .dll to your httpd.conf.
5. Restart Apache.

Well, there's more there than just DataSnap stuff, but the DataSnap info coming out of this blog is top shelf.

Keep up the good work, Ondrej!
