Cocoa has some limited support for TCP: you can open a client connection and send and receive data. For anything beyond that you have to drop down to CFNetwork. Doing a TCP server isn’t too hard because CFStream is toll-free bridged to NSStream, so you can use CFStream to listen for connections and then use NSStream for the I/O. Apple has some sample apps that demonstrate this. There’s no Cocoa support for UDP; the highest level system API for it is CFSocket, or of course you could just use the POSIX system calls. It’s possible there are 3rd party Obj-C APIs for UDP networking, but I don’t know of any offhand. In-depth discussion of networking is best done on the macnetworkprog list on this server, btw. The Apple gurus like Quinn hang out there and are very helpful. —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
