MBS' plugin does the trick.
Can you elaborate? I assume you mean its wrapping of
Authentication Services, but that leads back to the questions I was
asking before: has anyone used this to listen on a port < 1024?
And can I deauthorize after the Listen call, or will that cause my
server to stop listening?
I'm agnostic when it comes to plugins -- pretty much anything that
can be done with a plugin can be done with declares too. My
concern here is whether this approach will work at all.
Mee too ;-) MBS ships with certain Authorization Services calls. I
checked
one, which allows to switch a 'normal' app into an 'authorized app'.
If I
remember correctly, the call restarts the app somehow.
I suppose, that you can deauthorize, but I never checked it. Doesn't
authorization
services comes with an authorization context, which you could enrich
or reduce?
Sorry, but the respective code isn't handy right now. I just fall in
love with
Cocoa again [Core Data, bindings, is so nice and complete - and
extremly fast speaking
of coding productivity. Sometimes, an old love is your new love. Not
to speak of
size of binaries, system integration and execution speed.]. Thus, RB
isn't
my current focus tool.
I'm happy to search the archive tomorrow, in case no one else replies
before.
