I want to add a Chat (Instant Messaging) Feature to my existing Desktop Application written in Delphi-7.
I want a Chat Client component as Delphi-7 VCL Component with full source code (which I have prefered) or as an ActiveX library.
Component or ActiveX must have properties/methods/events to write a complete Chat Client Application with features like :
1- Give me Client Machine Connection Information (IP,Port,etc... )
2- Send/Receive Text messages
3- Send/Receive Binary Data
4- Send/Receive File
All of message/data/file packets must send directly to other client, WITHOUT sending to a Server. This part is VERY important. Because There are lots of Chat SDK implementations and they are all using a Server/Hub as dispacher.
I don't want my server download/upload packets while clients communicating each other.
Clients can be in same LAN or internet. Interrnet Clients can behind NATs / Firewalls.
I will write a Server by myself , But my server will hold only Client List and their connection parameters like IP,Port,etc..
My Server will not forward packets or anything else.
I dont know the technology of uTorrent, but I think they are working in same manner.
Please Only Expert Programmers Who did before working p2p communication applications.
I want to try your Component or ActiveX before any payment.
Thank you.
