Does Dart have support for the FTP protocol - dart

Does Dart have any support for the FTP protocol. In particular code running on the server not the client.
thanks
Richard

https://api.dartlang.org/apidocs/channels/stable/dartdoc-viewer/dart:html.HttpRequest says
HttpRequest can be used to obtain data from HTTP and FTP protocols, and is useful for AJAX-style page updates.
I don't know if there is more necessary to get FTP support as you might want it.

How to add SOAP interface for Delphi Synapse HTTP Server?

I've got a custom HTTP Server created using Delphi 7 and Ararat Synapse which receives HTTP GET from another application with a simple set of variables.
For example: http://myserver.com/get?Variable1=adsds&Variable2=asdasdasdsa&Variable3=aasdsadasdsad
The application source is similar to this - http://searchco.de/codesearch/view/13374072
Now, my customer needs me provide a SOAP interface. Completely new to SOAP, I did some research and found it to be very complicated. I would like to know what's the easier way to incorporate this interface to my HTTP server. Or should I find ready made SOAP To HTTP Conversion app if there is such a software. Thank you.
Note: I'm not the original developer of the HTTP Server.
There is a Web Service Toolkit for Free Pascal and Delphi which can be used to write SOAP servers.
I have not yet used it myself but it is in active development and might be compatible with Synapse.
Update: the current version seems to include support for Internet Direct (Indy) and Synapse (HTTP server and TCP server).
You need to write a SOAP server, which not only generates SOAP responses from SOAP requests, but which also provides a WSDL document telling the users what requests they can make.
Since your completely new to SOAP here are some 'starter' links:
General:
SOAP, WDSL, HTTP, XSD? What the?
List of publicly available web services (I would start writring a small testapp that consumes SOAP)
With Delphi:
Developing Web Services with Delphi
Web Services Made Easy With Delphi
Web services with Delphi
The fact that you are using Delphi 7 makes things more difficult, since later versions have better support:
Debugging/Testing Win32 SOAP Web Services (D2007). Bob has more SOAP articles
For testing both serving and consuming SOAP you should use SoapUI, a great free tool (What is SOAPUI?).
Once you are up to the WDSL you should know what types of WSDL exist and the whole namespaces mess...

How to pause/resume the upload/download to/from WebDav server?

I have used JackRabbit library to connect to WebDav server. I can successfully upload/download files to/from WebDav server. But, I'm having problem(actually I have no idea) with pausing/resume of upload/download.
Can anyone please help me with implementing pausing/resuming of upload/download to WebDav server?
Thanks,
Satish
Now, I have the answer. Thought it might be useful to someone having the same problem. Pausing/resuming doesn't depends on server. It has to be done based on HTTP protocol. Please refer HTTP protocol specifications for more details.

Information about currently executing request in corba

I need information about currently executing request in server in CORBA application. I am using Corba omniORB. I know, that in Ice for every function implemented in server-side there is parameter Ice::Current. Is there something similar in CORBA ?
Client certificates and other transport-related details were deliberately abstracted away by the CORBA spec. OmniORB might have some extension that allows this kind of investigation but I doubt it.
Your best bet is to turn up logging to the max and see if the client certificate's details appear anywhere.

Intercept http POST requests

I am looking for a method to intercept http post requests with delphi without hooking any browser functions.Is that possible? How??
You could use something like WinPCap to grab intercept all packets looking specifically for packets on port 80 using the http protocol with a POST. There is a Delphi wrapper available which might be of some help. This is the same engine that is used by WireShark which would be useful by itself if your just having to do this manually or to debug an existing protocol.
In stead of doing this in Delphi, you might want to consider good and scripteable free solutions like Http Fiddler?
Edit:
If you want to write a proper and fully fledged proxy from scratch, that works well with most of the idiosyncrasies of possible http clients and servers, be prepared for at least a couple of man-months work.
If you are willing to use at least some base libaries, then look into this question.
--jeroen
You'd have to create an application that acted like a local Proxy Server that caught all requests made and then forwarded them out to the appropriate server.
I'm not sure which version of Delphi you're using, but you might want to check out this sample Proxy Server in C# and see if you can port the basics to suit your needs.

Delphi SoapServer application

Is it possible to convert Delphi SoapServer application to use TCP/IP?
From your comment to your question it sounds like you are looking to get rid of SOAP, and use something else to communicatie over a TCP/IP connection.
The question one could ask is why do you want to convert to non-SOAP comm over TCP/IP?
But the answer to whether it is possible is: of course this is possible, there are many application servers using TCP/IP for communication without using SOAP as their communication's protocol.
You will need some kind of protocol for communication between server and clients. You could roll your own, but doing what SOAP is doing for you now: receiving and responding to commands from clients (or method invocation) and marshalling data/objects between server and clients is not a trivial task.
So I'd suggest you have a look at other remoting libraries for client/server communication, such as:
Remobjects: http://www.remobjects.com/
kbmMW: http://components4developers.com/
As others have said, SOAP is just XML on http/https, and usually does already use TCP.
That said, you could simply treat it as raw socket data or http data. i.e. you could make a client that just uses http POST to send a string to the server. The string would contain an XML SOAP request, and would be treated by the server as if it were SOAP. Likewise, you could build the server in a non-SOAP fashion, just accepting XML and returning XML, and the client wouldn't know the difference.
You can use Fiddler2 to play with this. You can build requests and send them via HTTP Post. The server has no idea that you're not a SOAP client.

If you're talking about pre-Delphi
2009 DataSnap, meaning COM based
DataSnap, then you have to use a third
layer utility to do the communication.
That utility named sockets.exe is
included with Delphi, and is in the
same dir as Delphi (Program
Files\\\\bin
If it is Delphi 2009 or better, then
DataSnap has built-in TCP/IP
functionality. You use
TDSTCPServerTransporter component.
Update: Ups! for some reason I did read DataSnap SoapServer (wich neither exists, but I did think of Soap Connection).
A Soap Server Application needs the "server" part, meaning a web server. SOAP is an technologie that runs over HTTP protocol, so I don't think it could be "converted".
DataSnap could do the job, or Indy TIdTCPServer or some of the derived classes.
