I have a carbon based application. I am trying to

(POST data to a secure (HTTPS) URL). I want it to be
able to run from OS 9.x to OS X. What network APIs
(other than URLAccess ) should i use so that i can
POST to a secure (HTTPS) URL and these APIs are
compatible for both OS 9.x and OS X.
The only API that meets these requirements is Open Transport, and
you'd have to write a *lot* of code on top of OT to make it work.
If you relax the "no URLAccess" requirement, then URLAccess is the closest fit.
Other high-level APIs (CFNetwork, Foundation URL Loading System)
require at least Mac OS X.
My general advice is that you fork you code and use URLAccess on Mac
OS 9 and CFNetwork on Mac OS X.
