Okay, I'm curious. Seeing the various open source projects which are
server processes (like apache, mysql, pop3, smtp, etc) has anyone ever
tried to write something like that using Objective-C? For instance,
it'd be really nice if there was an API so you could properly start up
a server process which binds to one or more TCP ports, installs
callback handlers, and then sits back and handles requests, like the
above-mentioned processes. I'm sure, since it wouldn't have an
interface, you'd only have to use Foundation for the most part. I
haven't yet figured out if using distant objects is correct in such a
framework, since I haven't yet run across any concrete examples of
actually using DO.
In an unrelated topic, if I were writing an application where I was
doing low-level file routings, is it okay to use the routines found in
<stdio.h>, or is there an equivalent set of routines for doing
random-access read/writes/seeks to files? Is NSFileHandle equivalent
and as responsive?
Thanks in advance,
Dennis
