Hi,
The first time one opens a socket to listen in their app then the Mac
OS X pops up that typical alert dialog that reads "Do you want to the
application "MyApp.app" to accept incoming network connections?"
Question: if your app only needs to listen for connections from the
localhost (not any network address), just to talk to another process
on the same machine, is there a way to do that without causing the Mac
OS X Firewall to produce that alert dialog?
