Short answer: Yes Long answer: Yes, but don't! It would put your SQL database at risk. Instead, build a proper REST API as - it hides the underlying database - it allows you to change the underlying database operations without changing the client A REST API done right is far more secure and robust.

OpenSSL has issued new releases of all the currently supported versions, 3.5.1, 3.4.2, 3.3.4, 3.2.5 and 3.0.17. OpenSSL 3.5.1 fixes a low risk CVE-2025-4575 relating to use of a command in the openssl.exe application to use trusted certificates. All releases include periodic miscellaneous minor bug fixes. Windows binaries are available in SVN and the overnight zip file and separately from https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/ICS_Download or https://www.magsys.co.uk/delphi/magics.asp In addition to the three DLL files, the zips include compiled RES resource files that contain the same DLLs, text files and version information, see the RC file. The RES file may be linked into application EXE files and code then used to extract the DLLs from the resource to a temporary directory to avoid distributing them separately. ICS V9.1 and later optionally support loading the resource files. These OpenSSL versions are included with ICS V9.5 beta available from SVN and the overnight zip. ICS V9.5 beta now defaults to using OpenSSL 3.5.1, provided the new OverbyteIcsDefs.inc files is installed, or you undefine OpenSSL_35 and suppress an earlier version. The SSL/TLS Certificate Authority Root Stores bundles have also been updated with new roots, more information at https://wiki.overbyte.eu/wiki/index.php/FAQ_SSL/TLS_Certificate_Authority_Root_Stores and downloads at: https://www.magsys.co.uk/download/software/ca-root-bundles.zip and are already included with ICS V9.5 beta. Separately, https://www.yunqa.de/ has released 3.0.17, 3.3.4 and 3.4.2 as commercial DCUs allowing applications to be used with OpenSSL without needing separate DLLs. Angus

That was a looong time ago and I've not done any serious programming in years. Actually I newer participated in a beta due to lack of time and spare hardware (installing a beta on my production PC was just too risky). And your memory is correct, I did start on the old Compuserve BPASCAL forum before Delphi was even an idea in Anders' brain 8-). Those were the days, acoustic couplers to connect via phone line, later 9600 baud modems, Turbo Pascal, later for Windows with OWL... lots of fun. Just a bit depressing that quite a few of the old crew have already passed away...
