Hi,
I've tried your app (built with trunk FPC) under Sequoia, and it seems
to work fine.
One thing I'd suggest though is to enable the threading mode (by
adding Application.Threaded := True; before Application.Run;), which
would 1) allow serving multiple clients simulatenously; 2) prevent a
faulty client from blocking the whole sever (e.g. a client which opens
a connection but never sends proper request contents - makes the
server wait on its only thread, refusing to accept any other
connections) - which indeed may look like the server stopped working
completely.

sounds good. 

but, on my old mac, the connection still drops.. maybe, localized
problem..

anyway

thanks
