I am FINALLY back to Mac Programming, I have not programmed a Mac
since system 8.5
Can someone Please help me on what the latest protocal is being used
for tcp/ip networking? Last time I wrote this type of code for the
Mac, Open Transport was the standard.
Is Open Transport used for Mac X programming?
if so, does anyone have just a simple client and server code of a
small examples of a client connecting to a server and sending data
between the two on Mac X carbon using C ?
If not, what is the Standard for TCP/IP networking? and would anyone
have just a simple connecting that is made between a client and server
programs that sends data back and fourth?
And please can anyone tell me where I can get references to the
standard above? I am in a wheel chair and do most of my work in bed,
it is hard for me to use html source as information, It is much
easier for me to have a pdf to print, or a book.
Open transport is a deprecated API, although it is still supported.
BSD sockets is the native way for tcp/ip on Mac OS X. There are various
layers put on top of this, which abstract varying amounts of the socket
stuff away and in some cases the protocols on top of that (eg FTP/HTTP)
for example CFSocket, CFStream or CFNetwork. You might want to check
out the headers for these, and also apple's networking code samples
(http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/Networking/index.html)
