hello,
i want to write a plugin that does some basic networking. i must
fulfill the following requirements:
- run on mac os x
- support ipv6
- be in pef, for the host only supports cfm
also i have not very much network programming experience, so the api
shouldn't be too complex :-)
first i tried bsd sockets. they doesn't seem to difficult and there are
quite some tutorials on the net, also they support ipv6, but
unfortunately they are implemented in the kernel framework which is
mach-o. there is some sample code that shows how to call a macho-o
library from cfm, but that is something i'd like to avoid.
then i tried open transport. i have lots of problems getting apple's
sample code to compile, let alone to run without crashing
(OTLookupNameTest) or producing only errors (OTPingSample). is it my
fault, or is open transport becoming obsolete? also i dont know wether
it supports ipv6. i found an old press release (1995 or so) where they
claim that it does, but haven't found anything in the current docs
about it.
then i tried CFNetwork. i wrote some code (mach-o, project builder) to
retrieve some html from a remote site, which was nice and easy. but
does it support ipv6? say, can i create an CFUrl from the ip
"2001:4f8:4:b:290:27ff:feab:19a7"? can i use it from a cfm app i build
using codewarrior?
so i think i tried all the options i have, but i still haven't found
the right way to do what i want. maybe someone could point me to the
right direction...
regards
sebastian mecklenburg
