Yes, exactly. :-)

As long as I can be sure that the stream is then closed after the data has been sent. But how difficult would it be to configure this kind of server-script from inside a SenTestCase? At the moment I create different blocks of data in different SenTestCases, create a DataStreamingServer for that data, tell the client to connect to the server and let the run loop run for a second. I don't have any experience with Python or Ruby yet (and not too much with the icky PHP ^^). In what way would I give the data to the script? At the moment I'm thinking about a command line style script that I would execute from the test (which doesn't sound nice) and wondering about how to hand the data object over to the script. But there is also a Python/Ruby Bridge, isn't there? I don't have experience with such bridges either. Could you then somehow mix Objective-C and Python code?
