post, but not receive

I want my program to Send information in a post, but I don't want my
computer waiting for a reply, and I don't want to set up a thread, but if I
have to, I will.

What I want to do is send the information, and then continue with execution,
and not wait for the reply to finish. I want my program to assume it
received it.

Sounds like a UDP broadcast solution would be good here.

Re:post, but not receive

It is an ASP Server, and NOT mine. I made a program to automate some things,
and I don't want to wait for the response from the post.

I did say my program, not my server

Re:post, but not receive

Also, I am using http, and http uses tcp, so udp is not an option

Maybe the IdAnti-freeze do what you want. Just drop one in your form.

Well in that case i'm afraid that you MUST wait for a response, there is no
other option for a tcp connection to be set up.
You can of course after sending the content, disconnect, but this can only
happen if you've communicated FIN/FIN Ack packets on the tcp level..
There are many component solutions that will enable you to do such a thing.
My personal favorite is Indy since it's very easy to program with, but there
are many others that can do the same job. ICS comes to mind..

Re:post, but not receive

it's just annoying that I have to wait for all the text of a page to load
after I post to the server.

My program would run so much faster if I didn't have to wait for the reply
page.

I am sending through a http.post('website',tstringlist); but I have to wait
for the page that the server returns. I just want it to accept the post, and
not reply.

BTW I do not have the ability to modify the server because I don't own it.
