I have the following task: download a file using HTTPS and authentication. Indy seems the way to go but for some reason it doesn't work so far. I have the following in place: a TIdHTTP component which I use for downloading a TIdURI component used to create the URL a TIdSSLIOHandlerSocketOpenSSL component which should provide the secure connection. The required DLLs are in the binary folder. The site also requires authentication and I included the user/pass in the URL as in the example below. In short this is the code: URI := TIdURI.Create('https://test.example.com/'); URI.Username :=

I have a Delphi app that regularly writes to a local disk file. Occasionally it is unable to access the file - a sharing violation results when it tries to open it. A retry after a short delay is all that is needed, but when it occurs, I would like to report the process that prevented the access. Is it feasible when a sharing violation occurs for my program to enumerate all the file handles in use, inspect the filename, and if it matches the name of my data file, retrieves the process name associated with that handle? Some example code would be nice. You have basically two ways The Easy Way if

I'm trying to connect to google documents (following Marco Cantu's excellent REST example) but I am getting the following SSL errors: 1) If I use the SSL dlls from openssl-0.9.8i-i386-win32.zip I get the error: "Could not load SSL library" 2) If I use the SSL dlls from indy_OpenSSL096m.zip I get the error: "Error connecting with SSL" 3) If I use the SSL dlls from openssl-0.9.8h-i386-win32-Indy-IntraWebEdition.zip I get the error: "Could not load SSl Library" Now I've researched this and there are a lot of recommendations with dead links to dlls about, including links on stack overflow. I

I'm wondering how the few Delphi users here are doing unit testing, if any? Is there anything that integrates with the IDE that you've found works well? If not, what tools are you using and do you have or know of example mini-projects that demonstrate how it all works? Update: I forgot to mention that I'm using BDS 2006 Pro, though I occasionally drop into Delphi 7, and of course others may be using other versions. DUnit is a xUnit type of unit testing framework to be used with win32 Delphi. Since Delphi 2005 DUnit is integrated to a certan point into the IDE. Other DUnit integration tools for

This is an odd behaviour by my D2006 as it happens sometimes only. I have a project I want to debug. The file I want to debug is named 'Main.pas'. I have another unrelated project with the same Unit name and sometimes the Debug prompt me the wrong Main file instead of the Main unit from the current project. This have happened to me with other files with the same name. I can't debug then as the debug keys don't work (they just don't do anything). Do you have experienced the same problem? How can I fix it? Thanks. Do you use relative paths? If yes, I found out it helps to set the working
