Could you forward one of those emails to me? daniel@disqus.com

Is this why I'm getting (seemingly) hundreds of spam comment emails all of a sudden? They're not available to be moderated away so I'm not really sure what to do about them.

Re: HTTP POST via the CFNetwork stack

No. Of course not. For a variety of reasons.

One: your question was asked in a somewhat incoherent fashion. I had to read it several times before I understood it. As you troll the Internet trying to find people to do your work for you, try something like this instead: "I have a video stored on an IIS server (which uses NTLM authentication) which I would like to play on an iPhone. As I am far too stupid and lazy to do the work myself, would you please give the code to me? I've been searching Google for the last two weeks, but so far, I have not found anyone willing to do my work for free!"

Ordinarily, I would give someone a pass for not speaking English as a first language. However, based on other data, I believe that you actually CAN speak English, but are just too lazy to do it.

Two: You're asking me to do work for you. This work is either for a job (so you're basically asking me to give you money) or for homework (so you're basically asking me to help you cheat). That's unethical. Your mother would be ashamed, assuming she's smart enough to know what any of those words means. Based on the child she raised, I suspect she's not.

Three: This blog post is about OS X development. You're asking about iPhone development. These are very similar, but also very different. Your arrogance in assuming that I would gleefully spend time learning new skills just so I could work for you for free has reached new heights. I can't even think of a good insult for this. I guess it's a freebie.

In conclusion, I kindly ask that you throw your computer into the nearest river. You are polluting my Internet with prideful ignorance and I want you to go away.

Thanks for the tip!

Re: SOAP on Apple Platforms: Still Painful

You're right. I overstated my case a bit.

The point I should have made, and didn't, would have been "It's too hard to consume web services on OS X, whatever their form. And since the Internet isn't going away any time soon, the problem is going to continue getting worse and worse for Apple developers. Contrast this to Microsoft's tools which make both creating and consuming web services downright trivial. Please deal with this, Apple!"

But I had just spent a few months writing and then rewriting my own Carbon-based SOAP handler so my mind was a bit cloudy.

Dude. You're awesome. Especially since you're me. (Also? This comment worked perfectly.)

NSMutableData is a subclass of NSData so you can use it in every single place you can use an NSData. So just use NSString's -(id)initWithData:encoding: message exactly like I did at the very bottom of the example code. And pass in your NSMutableData as the first parameter to the message.

You should also consider reading up on Objective-C basics before tackling CoreFoundation APIs. If you don't understand things like subclassing and Objective-C's dynamic type system, you'll be pretty lost.
