Perform POST request with Lazarus

Question

How can I perform a POST request with Lazarus?

I found that it is possible to do using Indy for Lazarus, but the installation of Indy itself is a bit of a hassle, having to recompile and all. Is there another way?

Answer 1

Of course you can use other library like Synapse. There is httpsend unit with functions like HttpPostURL(), it also supports SSL/TLS. I used this library with both Delphi and FPC.

If you do not need to use SSL/TLS, proxy or other more complicated things then it is not very complicated to create your own HTTP simple client based on socket and many HTTP tutorials.
