NSTask problems.

Hi,

I've decided to make my own CURL Handler.

So begin with the information at cocoadevcentral on wrapping UNIX commands.
They tell me to use NSTask so that's what I do.

After exploring NSTask in the foundation doc,

I have this code for a test app.

- (IBAction)loadURL:(id)sender
{

NSTask *cURLSession = [[NSTask alloc] init];
NSPipe *shellOutput =[[NSPipe alloc] init];
NSFileHandle *fileHandle;
NSString *result;

[cURLSession setLaunchPath:@"/usr/bin/curl"];

[cURLSession setArguments:[NSArray
arrayWithObjects:@"http://ambush.avara.net/index.php",nil]];

[cURLSession setStandardOutput:shellOutput];
[cURLSession setStandardError:shellOutput];
fileHandle = [shellOutput fileHandleForReading];

[cURLSession launch];
while([cURLSession isRunning]) // While the proc. is running.
{
// Do nothing and wait till it's finished...
}
NSLog(@"Termination Status: %d",[cURLSession terminationStatus]);
result=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:[fileHandle readDataToEndOfFile]
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

[resultField setString:result];

[result release];
[shellOutput release];
[cURLSession terminate];
[cURLSession release];




}

I compile and open the app.
I click the button that triggers the IBAction loadURL
It loads like in 1 seconds: I'm in heaven.
But problems will arrive soon:
I decide to see If I can load another url, just for fun
I replace http://ambush.avara.net/index.php for http://www.apple.com

[cURLSession setArguments:[NSArray
arrayWithObjects:@"http://www.apple.com",nil]];

I compile and run the app. The spinning multi colored ball appears. I wait
for 2 mins. Nothing loads. So I think " wow apple dot com is down! that's
rare!" So I fire up OmniWeb, enter www.apple.com
And the page loads. So I think " OH DAMN CURL WONT WORK! "
I fire up terminal and type curl http://www.apple.com and it loads like
lightning.

Why cant it load in my app?
I use the same CURL in my app and in Terminal what's the problem. I also
used the same args..................

Can someone explain me the problem?

Thanks
