TClientSocket in ISAPI DLL's

There is a simple way to make Socket connections from a ISAPI DLL to another server. The ISAPI itself is multithreaded so that's already done. The example opens a socket Blocking (!!!) connection to a local FTP server, sends some data (not really necessary in this case) and receives some data. The received data is shown as result on a HTML page.
For this example I used CGI-Expert to for the ISAPI DLL generation (for download of a shareware version see Delphi Tools and Utilities)

{ Important note about DLL memory management: ShareMem must be the
  first unit in your library's USES clause AND your project's (select
  Project-View Source) USES clause if your DLL exports any procedures or
  functions that pass strings as parameters or function results. This
  applies to all strings passed to and from your DLL--even those that
  are nested in records and classes. ShareMem is the interface unit to
  the BORLNDMM.DLL shared memory manager, which must be deployed along
  with your DLL. To avoid using BORLNDMM.DLL, pass string information
  using PChar or ShortString parameters. }
