But both those protocols do use HTTP POSTs. (XML-RPC can use
alternate transports, but in practice it's almost always over HTTP.)
Fair point. I didn't use the correct terminology (which stems from
the fact that I'm stumbling around a bit while learning this). I
think it's more accurate to say that the device doesn't respond well
to the tags in XML-RPC or SOAP. It does better with a single string.
I've seen references to a Cocoa wrapper for curl, but they're from
2002. Looking through Apple's documentation for a more up-to-date
method for sending HTTP Posts, it appears that I could make HTTP
Posts from CFNetwork (CFHTTPMessage with a POST method) or through
NSURLRequest.
Pretty much every Cocoa app that does HTTP uses NSURLRequest. It's
definitely the way to go for what you're doing. Create a mutable
one, then use its HTTP-specific setters to configure the method and
headers and set a body.
