Hi all,

I used to develop with Delphi several years ago, and as I had a little
project to do, thought Lazarus would be an ideal choice to try it out.

I would like to contact a host (on the same LAN), and stream a binary
image (png) from it - that's it. 'Ideally' I'd like to do this without
any third party plug-ins, but reading around I cannot find enough
documentation on fcl-net, to determine if this is possible?

Environment: Windows only
Protocol: planning to use tcpip, to contact the know host, and for the
host to respond with a binary file stream (which this utility will
then download)

Firstly - is this possible using the fcl-net lib, and if so, could you
kindly point me to an example?

Many thanks for any help!
Marc
