The objective-curl framework provides an easy-to-use interface to libcurl for Cocoa developers. Right now only uploading is supported and on the following protocols: FTP, SFTP, and Amazon S3 (HTTPS). There are a couple other frameworks out there that use libcurl for network operations but all subclass NSURLHandle, which has been deprecated since 10.4. This framework is designed to be used in more modern Cocoa applications and requires Mac OSX 10.5 or higher.
All curl objects are subclasses of NSObject.
Threading is done with NSOperation and NSOperationQueue. (Added in OS X 10.5)
The framework also utilizes common Cocoa delegate patterns.
CurlFTP *ftp = [[CurlFTP alloc] init];
// Also available are CurlSFTP, and CurlS3 classes which can be used in the same way.
[ftp setVerbose:YES]
[ftp setShowProgress:YES];
[ftp setAuthUsername:@"me"];
[ftp setAuthPassword:@"mypassword"];
// See the CurlDelegate protocol
[ftp setDelegate:self];
// feel free to mix and match files and directories
NSArray *filesToUpload = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:@"/path/to/musicfile.mp3",
@"/path/to/directory",
@"/path/to/moviefile.avi", NULL];
// kick off the upload on a background thread
[ftp uploadFilesAndDirectories:filesToUpload toHost:@"localhost" directory:@"~/tmp"];
The objective-curl framework is currently powering the OneWay application.
