Hi!
In my search for an HTTP server component, I came across these 3 wiki
pages.

https://wiki.freepascal.org/fcl-web
https://wiki.freepascal.org/fpWeb_Tutorial
https://wiki.freepascal.org/fphttpserver

Are they the same component?

Is fpHttpServer based on fpWeb or is it a parallel development?

fphttpserver is a stand alone httpserver component
fcl-web is a set of components where fphttserver is one of them
fpweb-tutorial is a tutorial written by leledumbo on how to use the
components of fcl-web

Install package "weblaz", from the Package menu of your Lazarus IDE.

Once installed, you can create New Project in HTTPServer, CGI server,
or FCGI server.
Then you can follow fpWeb_Tutorial.

Tutorial I wrote to use fpWeb, a web application framework built on
top of fcl-web. It can use fphttpserver as the underlying HTTP server
implementation or any other available implementations (CGI, FastCGI,
Apache Module, libmicrohttp based), including yours if you want to
write one yourself.
