Hello,

When my app launches, I'd like it to listen to port 80 or 443. To do that, I 
believe I need to use Security Framework Authorization API to obtain extended 
rights. A potential solution is to split the app's executable int two parts:

1) one executable, the main one that first gets launched, obtains extended 
rights.
2) the app itself, which is the embedded web server.

When the user double clicks the app, it would execute (1) with:

    SFAuthorization *authorization = [SFAuthorization authorization];
    BOOL result = [authorization obtainWithRights:NULL
                                            flags:kAuthorizationFlagExtendRights
                                      environment:NULL
                                 authorizedRights:NULL
                                            error:&error];

and then use NSTask to launch (2) via:

+ (NSString *)stringByLaunchingPath:(NSString *)processPath
        withArguments:(NSArray *)arguments
        authorization:(SFAuthorization *)authorization
        error:(NSError **)error;

Is this approach the way to go, or is there an easier/better/safer way do to 
that?

Thank you,
