Dear Fred,
Hence, should I use say
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/CFNetworkHTTPDownload/index.html
CFNetworkHTTPDownload
which seems to be from the "Core Foundation" legacy-history layer ???
CoreFoundation is going to be removed.
Gotchya, I did not know that thanks.
The cocoa url loading system is at a slightly higher level
(http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/URLLoadingSystem/Tasks/UsingNSURLConnection.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20001836)
which may be more appropriate.
I see, I had no idea, thanks.
To be clear, the whole NSURL system does NOT seem to be set up to
handle typical method=post forms ... it's more just for reading a
straight http or https web page....
Is that correct?
Or is there a whole "And here's how to do forms ........." section
I'm too stupid to see in the documentation??
Does this thread here ...
http://lists.apple.com/archives/macnetworkprog/2005/Dec/msg00066.html
Which is 3 years old, basically show the current state of the art
for posting a form?
CFHTTP hasn't changed much (authentication is a little nicer now),
that code looks fine to me.
Gotchya.
But just to be clear, CoreFoundation generally speaking is probably
going away soon.
So CoreFoundation is kind of the "old" way of looking at the web.
Whereas the URL Loading System, "NSURL", is the "new" way of looking
at the web.
(But -- as far as I can see anyway -- NSURL offers no support for Forms.)
Fred
Thanks very much !!!!
JP
