I use an NSDictionary with all information and then load it:

NSURL * versionURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.myserver.com/ myDict.plist"];
NSDictionary * versionDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithContentsOfURL:versionURL];


if (versionDict != nil) {
    //Do something
} else {
    //Warn the user that the info is not available
}

Hi,

I want to implement a version check function for my application. My decision is to put a version.txt, including a version number, on my web server, so that all clients can access it to check against their own version number.

What is the more elegant way to read a file from a webserver? For instance: http://www.myserver.com/version.txt
I read the documents about NSFileHandle, NSSocket, NSURL. I searched for some examples without any success. I'm not sure, if I really need the overhead to implement a webclient. Some other languages (such as java) supports file reading from a url in only 1-2 lines.


Thanks,
Ferhat
