Well in this day of spyware a lot of users tend to watch everything
that travels in and out of their computer's network connection.
This can be done on a firewall, a lot of broadband routers (dsl &
cable) or through software on a computer on the local network...
NSURL is doing a clear text request so it's not that hard really for
the user to figure it out...
You will probably have to mask the URL and catch it on your server
side and unmask it... you could add asymmetrical encryption to it if
you wanted to make it very difficult for the user... it doesn't
require a lot of work either.

Hi,
in order to ask my server for an authorization to run I just call
*fileOnWebURL = [NSURL URLWithString:fileOnWeb];
aDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:fileOnWebURL];
Some user discovered the string fileOnWebURL.
This string is created on the fly, randomly, it's not embedded in
the code.
So, how can a user know that string? With Terminal?
Do you have a vague idea?
Best Regards
