Dear Marcus,
Could you tell me which features are not available when using BSD sockets on
iOS? Although I would like to use CFNetwork APIs, I cannot find enough
materials to learn how to use them. The guide from apple.com is too limited
to be useful. Could you provide me with other resources about CFNetwork
APIs.
Thanks so much!
LB
