You can build a lightweight HTTP server in Delphi or Lazarus using the Horse framework to configure routes, apply middleware, and manage request/response handling before starting the server with THorse on a chosen port.

Middleware chaining for RESTful services in Delphi is handled by Horse using the Use method, allowing developers to compose global and path-specific request handling across HTTP routes.

Yes, Horse manages RESTful API routing and lifecycle in Lazarus by registering HTTP methods like Get and Post, then using THorse to start, listen on a port, and control server state.

Handling HTTP request body and headers in a Delphi microservice requires Horse and knowledge of THorseRequest and THorseResponse to access route params, query data, body, headers, and cookies.

The best way to group routes for a microservice in Delphi is using the Horse framework's Group feature, which structures endpoints and applies common middleware to specific route collections.

No external dependencies are required to start a minimal HTTP server with Horse in Delphi, as the core framework provides routing, middleware, and server lifecycle management natively.
