Hello.
I need to do the following on pre-OS X (i.e., Mac OS 9.x) via TCP/IP:
1) Listen for connection attempts to a background-only application
(BOA), with a "unique" port number (and unique message header) for
discerning that it's "for me," and
2) When such a "call" is received, the BOA sub-launches a GUI
application which takes over the back-and-forth communication as well as the
termination of the call.
Basically, the BOA part is the telephone and the GUI part is the hand-set,
so to speak (no pun intended). FWIW, I already have the BOA and GUI done; I
just needs some help on the network connection.
There are several OT examples available that seem applicable to the
situation, but I want to make sure I do it "right" and I'm not that
experienced with the lower-level OT goings-on (e.g., I have successfully
utilized the OTSimpleDownloadHTTP sample, and modified it with your help to
be asynchronous).
Based on my research it appears as if the OTVirtualClient/Server combo is
the best, with the server component being what I'm really interested in.
The OTSimpleServerHTTP is quite helpful, but I can't be confined to HTTP.
(Btw, if worse came to worse I could use the PowerPlant networking classes
too, but I'd still need to know how to transition the connection from the
BOA to the GUI.)
Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
David
