We are currently using Indy9 in a Delphi 7 solution sending binary stream data via tcp and also misusing http to send the same stream in POST requests. The system owns the communication, that is, we have full control over both the clients and servers and doesn't need to support any third parties, public api etc.
The current world situation now triggered a lot of our customers to demand secure communication, most of them mentioning SSL/TLS 1.3/HTTPS. Hence, we are currently examining if the SecureBridge components can replace the Indy9 components (we are only using the TIdTcpClient, TIdTcpServer, TIdHttp and TIdHTTPServer components).
- Are the TScSSLServer and TScSSLClient components a good fit for our scenario?
With Indy 9 we use the TIdTcpClient.WriteStream followed by TIdTcpClient.ReadStream functions and for the misuse of http we use TIdHttp.DoRequest(hmPost, '/', RequestStream, ResponseStream) from the clients.
- I have tried to do a simple proof of concept of using the TScSSLServer and TScSSLClient components but got stuck and can't find any demos nor any documentation for TScSSLServer. Is there a demo (or even better a tutorial with descriptions) for those components available?
