Hej,
Here are the error messages I received. My error reporting is a little
primative so I am not sure of the order of the messages but theyare:
Cound not bind socket Address and port are already in use.
Socket error # 10038. Socket operation on non-socket.
Socket error # 10022. Invalid argument.
If I understand you correctly there is no problem having a tidHTTPServer
component running in a service application that also has a timer event that
can trigger a call to idHTTP to do a Post.
Any help/advice would be appreciated.
