Dear Alex
Thank you for your ideas. As far as I know the WebServiceCore does not
support message encryption and credentials, and unfortunatly this is
exactly what I need.
You are completly right when you compare Cocoa with Win32 programming,
I just hoped there would be a simple solution to be able to focus on
business related problems instead of worrying about message
transportation.
Thanks again
Best regards
Meik

As someone who has written many of these over the years on Windows
and recently in Cocoa - its important to note that all of these
cloud computing methodologies are just HTTP POST and GET at the
basic level. This is an area that .NET works great in, but if you
use Win32 you are at a level of hurt that makes Cocoa look like a no
brainer :)
Also I find that each implementation of secured web services is
always a bit different. You can find Cocoa SOAP classes out there as
well as REST examples. But at the simplest level you can get SSL
access via just a plain https:// URL within CFNetwork or the NS
methods.
Also check out WebServicesCore.

I wouldn't use it myself as its not my cup of tea, but it may help.
Here is another thread on using WebServicesCore:

Maybe some of that will help. Its hard to say because "secured web
service" is so generic.

Dear all,
Did anyone made experiences creating a native client application,
which communicates with a secured web service? Is there any API which
I could use to accomplish this? In times where everyone is talking
about SOA and cloud computing I find it hard to believe that there's
nothing more sophisticated than doing a HTTP POST/GET request
transmitting clear text to the server...or using Java...
Thanks a lot
Best regards
