RTC Web Server is a fully functional Web Server, which was built within a week using only RTC SDK components and can be re-used with any RTC application. It is part of the RealThinClient SDK package, which is available with full source code in Delphi.

RTC WebServer demonstrates some of the capabilities of RealThinClient SDK components and can be set up in less than 5 minutes to serve virtual hosts with local files and folders, PHP scripts, ISAPI extensions and streaming video. It also has a built-in Messenger Server, ready to be used with RTC Messenger Clients.

If you are looking for complete Web Application demos, click here.

File Client demo works over the HTTP protocol using RTC's DataRequest components and can be used to test response times from different HTTP Servers when a number of requests are being sent ("100 x Post" button).

You can point this client at any Web Server and request any file (or site) to see how fast that server will respond and whether connection will get dropped before the file arrives. For downloads longer then 1 second, average download speed will be calculated (displayed right from the progress bar).

File Client Demo was written in less than a day using only RTC SDK components. It is available in full source code with the RealThinClient SDK package.

RTC Messenger is an example of using remote functions with the RealThinClient SDK. RTC Messenger Client and Server were written in a week, starting from scratch, using only RTC SDK components and are included in the RTC SDK package with full source code in Delphi, ready to be compiled with Delphi, BCB and BDS. Please check the Order page for more info. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

How to use RTC Messenger Client/Server?

1.) Start RTC Messenger Server and click the "Start" button, or ... start the RTC WebServer, check the "Include RTC Messenger Server" checkbox and click the "Listen" button, or ... install the RTC Messenger ISAPI on your Web Server. Either one will make the Messenger Server ready.

2.) Start RTC Messenger Client and register by entering your Server's address and port (default=80), choosing a username and password (anything you like) and clicking the "Register" button. If the username you chose is not already taken on that Server, you will be logged in automaticaly. You have to remember your username and password, because you will need those every time you want to connect to that Messenger Server.

3.) Add friends by clicking the "Add Friend" button and entering your friend's username. After your friend goes OnLine and accepts your invitation, you will be able to see his/her online/offline status and send him/her messages (online and offline).

4.) To start chatting with a friend, double-click his/her name in your Friends list. A new window will open and you can start typing, just like you are used to with other Instant Messaging software (like MSN or Yahoo!).

5.) To log out, click the "Log out" button and to log in again, enter server address and port (if not correct), enter your username and password (the one you chose on registration) and click the "Login" button.

App Client, Server and ISAPI Demos are included in the RealThinClient SDK package, which is available with full source code from the Orders page. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

App Client and App Server Demos work over the HTTP protocol, to eliminate any possible firewall and proxy problems. If your client is behind a proxy, check the "useProxy" checkbox to activate proxy settings.

App Server, App ISAPI and App Client demos can be used to stress-test RTC component using Remote Functions with strong encryption by opening hundreds of connections from each client and flooding the Server/ISAPI with requests.

App Client Demo is ideal for stress-testing RTC remote functions using multiple connections in multi-threaded mode, visualy showing activity and stage for each connection in a live graph. Client can choose between "Proxy" and standard connection components, to see the difference in bandwidth usage and distribution.

To do the test, you can start the App Server as a stand-alone executable or install the App ISAPI extension on a ISAPI-capable Web Server. Either will do. When running the test using the App ISAPI, you need to add the path to your ISAPI extension to "Module File Name" in your client. When running the test using App Server as stand-alone executable, you don't need to modify the "ModuleFileName", simply enter the correct Server address and port.
