Hello all,
We have a Web Based application that is written in php and connects
to a MySQL Database. We want to develop a Mac client for this
application. Since there is no native way to connect a core data app
to a MySQL database another approach is needed. So what we
brainstormed was the following:
Construct a core data app with a GUI that will execute a http POST to
our existing php post routines. We would then edit our post routines
to "know" if the user was connected via the client or the existing
web UI and IF using the client the result of the POST would be an XML
file that we could then have the Mac Client parse and display in the
GUI using the NSData elements.
My question is I do not know how to execute an http Post from a form
utilizing standard NS Controls. Is this even possible or are we
barking up the wrong tree. I saw plenty of documentation on Parsing
the return XML, which would be the next thing to figure out. But if
the POST is not possible we may be headed back to the drawing board.
Please forgive if this sounds like we are hunting in the dark here,
but we have never built a Mac app and are very new to this whole
thing. Any advice, suggestions, examples would be greatly appreciated
