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.)
I have written
NSURL *the_pUrl = [[NSURL alloc] initWithScheme: @"http" host:
@"123.123.123.4" path: @"
http://www.apple.com";];
NSData *the_pData = [the_pUrl resourceDataUsingCache: NO];
// Where 123.123.123.4 is the IP address of my firewall server.
But I get a run time error "path
http://www.apple.com is not absolute path"!
I have tried different varients / combinations of these, but always get an
error or nil into the_pUrl.
What am I doing wrong? How do I access a URL in Cocoa application sitting
behind a firewall ?
TIA.
With regards
Gokul
