I want to establish socket connection between iphone and a web service that has its own IP address, service name (e.g “_abc._tcp”), and it also contains information about files stored. How can I do this? Can you please help with some sample code or links.
My goal is to develop an application that will get a video file from that server to my iphone and play it.
At first I try to get information of the files but I don’t know how to connect to that server and make the video played on my iPhone.
Many thanks in advance
There is a great library for socket programming in objc here CocoaAsyncSocket
Which will help you out a lot. The examples also show how to use NSNetServices to broadcast a Bonjour service.
