[Lazarus] HTTP and POP3 client components

[Stephane Carre]

Did you have look at synapse ? http://synapse.ararat.cz/doku.php
Works fine under Linux and Windows, 32 and 64 bit, both with Lazarus and Delphi.

Subject: [Lazarus] HTTP and POP3 client components

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
