I have this DLL:
library WEB;
{ Important note about DLL memory management: ShareMem must be the
first unit in your library's USES clause AND your project's (select
Project-View Source) USES clause if your DLL exports any procedures or
functions that pass strings as parameters or function results. This
applies to all strings passed to and from your DLL--even those that
are nested in records and classes. ShareMem is the interface unit to
the BORLNDMM.DLL shared memory manager, which must be deployed along
with your DLL. To avoid using BORLNDMM.DLL, pass string information
using PChar or ShortString parameters. }

Both are compiled by Delphi 10.4 CE on Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64 without any errors, however, when the EXE is executed it shows this error :
"The program couldn't start correctly (0xc0000142). Click OK to close the program"
I guess I have missed something and can't seem to find it ... fresh eyes would be appreciated enormously !!!
EDIT:
I found out that I just had to remove ShareMem from uses clause and GetHTTP function works as expected, however, PostHTTP shows this error:
"Access violation at address 0000000000D8F4B4 in module 'Library.dll'. Read of address 0000000000000008"
