tcpflow is amazing. I really have seen on the Terminal the content

I would like to know: can the user feed my application with some
other data
coming from a different server?
I mean, can a user diverge my call dictionaryWithContentsOfURL from my
domain to some other domain?
Yes, and quite easily. You can add an entry to the hostnames file to
cause yourdomain.com to always resolve to something else (e.g.
localhost). There you can run your own server and return back
whatever you like.
