Thanks for that. Okay, I see the QuickLook docs sort of allude to this in regards to using Web-Kit plugins within QuickLook generators. Which gets me thinking: would it then be possible to maybe connect to the server via local distributed objects instead of using the NSURLConnection framework? In otherwords, how deep does the sandbox go?

Any ideas on how to possibly bypass this would be most welcome.

Best,
Dalmazio

But as soon as I move the (exact) same code over to the QuickLook plugin, a call to the server only returns (null) response, and (null) data. The docs indicate that this means the connection is failing. But why o why is it failing?
