30 years later, no one has taken this to the level of Delphi Developer [pushes] a DXWF application to a DXSock based webserver [all using Delphi 7].
1. The web server receives the PUSH source. [.dpr, .dfm, .pas, etc.]
2. Spawns dcc32.exe to build the .dpr into an application web server.exe (without writing a single line of web server, or .html or .js ~ I did it all already for you!).
3. Application Web Server takes over communications with an end-user.
