I have a CGI program on my web site which I run and pass some parameters in
the URL.
I am using a TIdHTTP component to run the program with the passed
parameters:
TIdHTTP.Get('mysite.com/cgiprog.exe/function
Since the page returned by the GET operation is not used and it is no a big
problem if the function fails, is there a way I can send the GET request and
just continue without waiting for the returned page?
I am using Indy 10.0.52.
Thanks,

The only way to do an asynchronous Get() is to do the Get() in a separate
thread.
Also, since you don't want the website's content, you might also consider
deriving a class from TStream that overrides the Write() method with an
empty body. This way, any data that is written to the stream will be
discarded and not take up any memory at all. You can then pass this stream
to the overloaded version of Get() that has a TStream parameter for
outputted data.

threading or just live with the brief pause for the Get() operation to
complete.
