I'm not aware of anything built-in, however, you can wrap plain unix sockets in an NSFileHandle (maybe even NSStream) to do stuff like that manually. I think there are also some open source NNTP clients out there (Newswatcher for example, but I don't know what license it's under, and it's pretty old code, so not Cocoa, but may be handy to figure out how to robustly parse headers and extract binaries and all that). You could also ask authors of existing NNTP clients, maybe they're willing to license their library if your use case is different enough from theirs. Panic's Unison is probably a surprisingly modern NNTP codebase. -- Uli Kusterer Sole Janitor http://www.the-void-software.com _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
