Overall Satisfaction with /n software IPWorks

[/n software] IPWorks is a comprehensive framework for Internet development and is the core building block for most /n software products. Components that eliminate the complexity of Internet development, providing easy-to-use, programmable components that facilitate tasks such as sending email, transferring files, managing networks, browsing the Web, consuming Web Services, etc. It's used in various departments in the organization.

  • A comprehensive suite of tools covering all major Internet technologies.
  • Small and lightweight components with no dependencies on external libraries.
  • Native development components for all supported platforms and component technologies.
  • The upgrade process is not the best
  • Does not come with full source code
  • The HTTP control could not create an SSL connection over an http proxy
  • Full control over the SSL authentication process allows you to accept or reject certificates based certificate parameters.
  • Small and lightweight components with no dependencies on external libraries.
  • Native development components for all supported platforms and component technologies.
  • Fast, robust, reliable - the components consume minimal resources.
  • Controlling network traffic from client schedules
  • Tuning TCP/IP settings for clients and servers
  • Detailed documentation, hundreds of sample applications
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.

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.
