TIdTCPServer.Active question.

Finally I am trying to port some of my server application from Winshoe to

Quote

Indy. I wrote:

MyTCPServer.Active := true;

The above statement is simple, but when the port on the host machine has
already been allocated, it won't raise any exception . The Active property
will intact as True, but the server is not actually running.

Any work around? I am using the lastest Indy version (the offical release).

Thanks to the wonderful Indy Team!!!

Re:TIdTCPServer.Active question.

That will give an exception in Winshoe if I recall it correctly. I have just
tried it with Indy (8.0.21) and it won't raise any exception, and the Active
property will remain True.

Re:TIdTCPServer.Active question.

I did a sample application and yes it goes active but mosty interesting is
that if you run netstat -na you will see that there is two sockets that
listen on the same port. This much more smells like winsock bug ;-))

Re:TIdTCPServer.Active question.

At least it doesn't happen to Winshoe, does it?
