tcpflow is amazing. I really have seen on the Terminal the content of the

Since I use the content of that file to give the user the permission to run,
I would like to know: can the user feed my application with some other data
coming from a different server?
I mean, can a user diverge my call dictionaryWithContentsOfURL from my
domain to some other domain?

Yes, and quite easily. You can add an entry to the hostnames file to cause yourdomain.com to always resolve to something else (e.g. localhost). There you can run your own server and return back whatever you like.
