SignalR in Delphi or C++Builder [closed]

Question

I need to send data in real time between Delphi/C++Builder apps placed in different PCs not connected in the same LAN, only using Internet.

My first approach was via DataSnap REST server but it is not practical due proxy and router problems. The configuration was too hard for the users plus that some people do not like to have a web server running in their machines opening the corresponding ports.

My second approach is using a server in the middle. I am checking SignalR technology that seems to fit very well. It is well solved for C# but I cannot find any information about VCL, Delphi or C++ Builder.

Is there some library or do I need to work from scratch via WebSockets?

Is there another way to communicate VCL applications that run in separated PCs only connected to Internet?

Answer 1

/n Software has a WebSockets library - with C++Builder support. https://www.nsoftware.com/ipworks/ws/
