I forgot to mention in the build 16 announcement, that I'm still looking for input on built-in RTL functions, etc. that you'd like to see for the server applications.

The following are functions/functionality that I plan on adding that aren't in there yet:

1) Socket support
2) Graphics/image manipulation
3) HTML generation
4) PDF generation

Any others that I'm missing ?

Thanks !

The one thing I do a lot of from servers is sending email. Standard SMTP send to a server with optional TLS and authentication.

Looking forward to this, thank you!

I think being able to produce a report of sorts would be nice. So, being that you have the HTML generation there, and the PDF.. that is a path I could use? Or is the generation of the PDF content to be done in some other fashion?

Maybe export to CSV?  This could be used to import data into Excel for manipulation by users.

Hello Tim

Hope you are well?

Excuse me beforehand if I have misunderstood something and the context of the question.

1.   I would like there to be a simple way to "authenticate users" so I don’t have to worry about any special routines and calling mechanisms. (so I would like to supply the user table name and the fields that are used to authenticate. If valid then a simple response back to say its all good to go and that the user is genuine.

2.   A form of  2 factor "user authentication" might also be good as its used a lot now and is quite effective deterrent to misuse by hackers.

3.   CSV:  IMPORT  and EXPORT functions: Simple mechanism  that takes input from a file / dbgrid / datasource.

4.    JSON:  IMPORT and EXPORT functions : Simple mechanism that takes input from a file / dbgrid / datasource.

Thank you

Having the ability to generate an HTML report, especially if it is possible (and practical) to take into account master-detail tables.

1) additional file/directory functions for server applications
   - get file list
   - get directory list
   - copy file
   - extract parts of full file name

2) TTimer component for server applications
