Hi everybody
In one of my applications, I need to enable the proxy server support i.e.
my
application should be able to access the URLs even sitting behind a
firewall.
I was trying out using NSURL.
I find that I cannot use something
NSURL *the_pUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: @"http://www.apple.com";]
;
NSData *the_pData = [the_pUrl resourceDataUsingCache: NO];
as the local network will not find the host 'www.apple.com' and hence
fail.
Now to access the URL through firewall, I will have to use the firewall
server as the host and the URL as the path. (I have done this with
applications in Java and C++ and they work fine).
But I am not able to use the 'initWithScheme:host:path:' method of NSURL.
(Which I feel is the one to be used for this situation.)
The Feb. 2002 issue of MacTech has a Dan Wood article on this issue, from
which I quote:
"If you have proxies configured in the system preferences, NSURLHandle
will not pay attention to those settings, and fail."
Dan wrote an ObjC wrapper called CURLHandle around an open-source utility
called CURL (included with OS X).
1... Read the article - I don't have an exact URL, but it should be
available at www.mactech.com.
2... Get the code from curlhandle.sourceforge.net
