>From what I gather, the "preflight" referred to in the docs is just a check to see if a protocol class is registered to handle the scheme (http:, file:, etc.). That is, it tells you if the proper machinery is in place to *attempt* the connection, not whether the attempt will succeed or not. It allows you to distinguish between "I don't grok gopher" and actual network-layer errors. sherm-- -- Cocoa programming in Perl: http://camelbones.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
