Hello,
When my app launches, I'd like it to listen to port 80 or 443. To do that, I believe I need to use Security Framework Authorization API to obtain extended rights. A potential solution is to split the app's executable int two parts:
1) one executable, the main one that first gets launched, obtains extended rights.
2) the app itself, which is the embedded web server.
When the user double clicks the app, it would execute (1) with:
SFAuthorization *authorization = [SFAuthorization authorization];
BOOL result = [authorization obtainWithRights:NULL
flags:kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights
environment:NULL
authorizedRights:NULL
error:&error];
and then use NSTask to launch (2) via:
+ (NSString *)stringByLaunchingPath:(NSString *)processPath
withArguments:(NSArray *)arguments
authorization:(SFAuthorization *)authorization
error:(NSError **)error;
Is this approach the way to go, or is there an easier/better/safer way do to that?
Thank you,
-- Tito
