Indy project, internet protocols - use with PureBasic ?

Anyone familiar with the Indy project? http://www.indyproject.org

Indy "is an open source socket library that supports clients, servers, TCP, UDP, raw sockets, as well as over 100 higher level protocols such as SMTP, POP3, NNTP, HTTP, and many more."

It would be nice to be able to take advantage of all these protocols from PB4. On the Indy website it says it supports C++ ... doesn't that mean we could utilize the code using PB's "Interface" ?

Maybe it's just Borland C++ that it works with as the library was written in Delphi?

Anyone have any idea?
Any other comprehensive open-source cross-platform library that we might be able to utilize instead?

Well, this is definately server grade network library, no doubt about it. If we can get this ported so we can use it in PB, it would neatly replace the pb library and provide the desperately needed server side functions.

Thanks for bringing this up, I'll see if I can fiddle around and get this working in PB!

Thanks yet again!

That would be lovely! I think i used this in Delphi when that was the language!
