Re: old Delphi graybeards
"...who asked me if they could avoid to interface with Apache and write their own web server in Delphi..."
Those graybeards probably did not know much about their own tool. There are tons of libraries that implement web servers in Object Pascal. Of course managing secure session is a maintenance problem but one can easily hide from that by using reverse proxy approach.
Btw I am one of graybeards (old fart will be more correct as I shave). But I also do software in whole bunch of other languages.
