Horse supports multiple execution providers. To change the provider, simply include the corresponding unit in your .dpr uses clause.
Horse.Provider.Console (Default - Indy-based): Launches a standalone console application listening on a TCP port. Best for local development and microservices.Horse.Provider.Daemon: Integrates Horse with Windows Services or Linux Daemons.Horse.Provider.HTTPsys: Integrates with the native Windows HTTP Server API (HTTP.sys). Provides high performance and native SSL/HTTPS support on Windows without needing Apache/Nginx.Horse.Provider.CGI / Horse.Provider.ISAPI: For deployment inside IIS (Internet Information Services) or Apache on Windows.Horse.Provider.Apache: Native Apache web server module.program MyAPI;
