- Does one use Apache on macOS and place binaries into CGI-Executables? Or use something like CocoaHTTPServer to create a custom server? Or...?

I don't think Apache is even present anymore; there's no "Web Sharing" checkbox in the Sharing system pref. Building a server component is nontrivial, unfortunately. The actual socket part is pretty easy if you use NSNetService and publish your service with the NSNetServiceListenForConnections option — you just have to add a delegate method that will be called with an NSStream input/output pair when a client connects. But once you've got the socket streams, the OS doesn't help you with implementing any protocols. Implementing a real working HTTP server is pretty hard, but it's probably a lot easier to implement a dumbass one that just responds to one request and closes the socket (i.e. HTTP/0.9.) You can use CFHTTPMessage to do the header parsing/generation.

- On the iOS side, does one need only use NSURLConnection and friends? Or...?

It's NSURLSession these days. —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
