Hi,
Sorry for being a nuisance again :-[ ....
We need to do a command line program to run n Linux (PC, later ARM),
that reads a mail via POP3 and then does some communication towards
some HTTP server (reading some pages and setting a value with some cgi
program running there.)
I do know that decent HTTP and POP3 components are available with Indy,
but I am afraid of trying to use Indy on Lazarus/ARM/Linux.
As we already successfully did an FTP client program on Lazarus with
lnet, I decided to try to use lnet, here again.
So I installed the latest lnet package and found that in fact a HTTP
client component is available.
Up till now, I failed to find a decent documentation, so I was not able
to read a page from a web server (in fact I would need a proxy for some
environments, but - at least on Linux - I suppose there is a system wide
proxy definition that might automatically apply.
In fact "connect" seems to work, but what now ?....
Seemingly lnet does not provide a POP3 client component out of the box.
So what to do ?
Thanks for any pointers,
-Michael
