    The HTTPS control definitely supports proxies - The HTTPS control contains a ProxySSL property which is used to tell the control whether or not to use SSL for the connection with the proxy itself. The customer is probably not setting the value to the appropriate proxy type. I have used [/n software IPWorks] and they do work very well. I also agree that the upgrade process is not the best. I have contacted support of several occasions and they are helpful. They even provided a compile that help on a Delphi upgrade when they could have charged me for an upgrade.

    Based on my experience, here are some scenarios where Stream Chat is well suited: 1. If you want to build a real-time chat system then it is a very important use case. 2. Also good if you want to integrate it into gaming applications. However, there are also scenarios where Stream Chat may be less appropriate. For example: 1. stream chat use cases are mostly for real-time messaging use cases only but if you are someone who don't have such use case than you can skip stream chat

    I've switched all my IPWorks over to Clever - while the support was good, there's nothing like being able to look at the code and work out the cure for yourself. It does have a class for servers - TclTcpServer - but I suggest you test their support and ask about your specific requirement. They've been good with support to me in the past.

    Why we prefer stream chat over Twilio was as follows: 1. User interface customization: Stream Chat provides wide range of user interface customization feature than Twilio. 2. Moderation tools: Stream chat provides a lot of moderation tools to manage chat and content being generate real time on the app. 3. Collaboration features: collaboration feature of stream chat is really good. Very simple collaboration features are provided by Stream Chat
