When ClientType is ctBlocking, use a TWinSocketStream object for reading and writing.
procedure TMyClientThread.Execute;
var
TheStream: TWinSocketStream;
buffer: string;
begin
{ create a TWinSocketStream for reading and writing }
TheStream := TWinSocketStream.Create(ClientSocket1.Socket, 60000);
try
{ fetch and process commands until the connection or thread is terminated }
while (not Terminated) and (ClientSocket1.Active) do
begin
try
GetNextRequest(buffer); { GetNextRequest must be a thread-safe method }
{ write the request to the server }
TheStream.Write(buffer, Length(buffer) + 1);
{ continue the communication (eg read a response from the server) }
...
except
ifnot(ExceptObject is EAbort) then
Synchronize(HandleThreadException); { you must write HandleThreadException }
end;
end;
finally
TheStream.Free;
end;
end;
