Douglas,
I think you are right. So what are your suggestions
that what API (other than URL Access) should i use to
POST to HTTPS and still be able to run on both 9.x and
OS X keeping in mind that i have a carbon based
application. Or if compatibility with both OSs is not
possible then atleast the APIs are carbon based and
able to run on OS X. My priority is to be able to run
on OS X. I cannot use CFNetwork since these are cocoa
and my application is carbon based.
Thanks
Ali
