Hello, I'm new to this list so sorry if this was just
covered....although my
searches indicate it has not. My question is does anyone have a good
resource on the net or have information on socket programming in Cocoa.
Basically, I want to know how to initilize a new socket to listen and
allow
other sockets to connect to it and send it a simple message, such as a
string. Does each new socket have to be put into a new thread to allow
multiple connections? Any information on setting up sockets would be
great,
thanx.
You have a number of options here. If you're controlling both sides of
the connection and don't need interoperability with other computers or
programs, use DO. If you want to use sockets without all the hassle,
OmniGroup has a great framework (OmniNetworking) that takes a lot of the
tedium out of socket programming (www.omnigroup.com). If you want to
program to the metal and use good old fashioned BSD sockets, go to
Google and search for "Beej Socket" - there's a good tutorial floating
around the net written by a guy who goes by "Beej" and it takes you by
the hand and shows you how to do it. There are many examples of source
code that does this; one I can think of is NewsFlash
(newsflash.sourceforge.net) that uses raw socket programming in
Objective-C..
