It's really not necessary to drop down to reinventing the code to access the protocols. There are system APIs for this stuff, I promise; the fact that most other iOS apps work with proxies should be a tip-off. I mean, it's like Foley & Van Dam is a great computer graphics textbook, but I'm not going to drop it in someone's lap when they ask how to rotate a Bezier curve, I'll just point them at NSAffineTransform. > How many of you are old enough to remember the ISO Networking Stack? I do (I'm about the same age as you, I just don't point it out as often), but I really fail to see what it could possibly have to do with the topic of this thread, other than as a stream-of-consciousness segue from those RFCs. > The RFC's are *specifically* meant for regular people to read, understand and > put to good use. Regular people like my mom? I could point her at RFC822 next time she calls and tells me her email is broken, but I don't know if she'd put it to good use. I'd say they're meant for savvy programmers with experience with data structures and network programming. Many of them are well written and clear, but it varies. Try RFC4158 <http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4158.html> on for size sometime. *shiver* —Jens
