I am working on an app that uses an API. I am trying to connect using localhost:8000 but it will not connect. It will get feedback when I use APIs not using localhost and it connects just fine when I use an address bar on chrome. But unfortunately, it will not work where I need it. Also, it will work sometimes and will quit working randomly. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong?

I’m trying to build a voip app with openfire on server-side, Icelink on client-side in xamarin android.
The problem is the openfire client(running on port 5222) does not respond at all even from the local host.
For example when i try 192.168.1.xx:5222 in my browser, it is always in acquire stat and does not response anything.
I have checked all the primitive things and tested the server with Spark and it works fine!
i am newbie to iphone programming. I am working on an iphone project.
My question is:
How to connect my iphone application to a remote server mysql database directly?
There are many ways to connect through PHP scrip/ json/xml/ webservices.
But i dont need that. I would like to have direct connetion to mysql of remote server without any intermediate?
Basically you would need to build a mysql client lib for iOS and then use that from Objective-C. This blog post should get you started. As stated by peko you should really reconsider that you are doing the right thing. The mysql network protocol isn't exactly made for mobile clients where connections can drop, be unavailable, etc.
You shouldn't do this because someone could sniff the traffic and get the username and password for your database, or inject sql-code.
Here's a MySql objective-C client for iPhone. It was traditionally available only for OSX but they just released it for iOS:

I haven't used it. I would still strongly recommend exposing via services. I would also be interested in why you need to directly connect to the DB and why services isn't appropriate :)
I get internet access on the browser but when i run the application, the application doesnt get internet. I have used internet permissions.
Actually the problem is because of proxy settings.
Early there was no internet connectivity on the browser, but later I set the proxy in APN and internet started working on the browser. But the application doesnt get internet.
Any solution for this?
** EDITED Apr 13th 2010 **
To get the proxy working with WebView, you apparently need to call WebView.enablePlatformNotifications()
According to the HttpURLConnection docs (Proxies heading):
Proxies
By default, this class will connect
directly to the origin server. It can
also connect via an HTTP or SOCKS
proxy. To use a proxy, use
URL.openConnection(Proxy) when
creating the connection.
You should be able to enable proxy use by setting the system properties described here, however this may not work on Android - the bug report on Proxy support doesn't go into much detail on where the bug is (e.g. property not set vs property not used)
Proxy use can also be controlled using ProxySelectorRoutePlanner, which is used by AbstractHttpClient.setRoutePlanner. Unfortunately, this means re-writing the httpConnection code to use DefaultHttpClient
Hope this helps,

I'm developing an iPhone app that has a network component. I'm developing the app in Java (Google App Engine actually), running on port 8080. And it works, when I test my app in the iPhone simulator.
But now I am trying to test on the device, and I can't hit my Jetty instance. I can certainly access my Mac via the iPhone because I'm able to hit http://10.0.1.7/~brianpapa/ and view my Home Folder when Web Sharing is turned on. But when I try to hit http://10.0.1.7:8080/, it says it can't connect to the server.
Interestingly, if I try to hit http://10.0.1.7:8080/ from my mac, it doesn't work either - I have to use localhost as the hostname instead, then it's fine. Has anybody ever encountered this before, and know how to fix it?
You need to bind the server to your external ip address. See the docs:
--address=...
The host address to use for the server. You may need to set this to be able to access the development server from another computer on your network. An address of 0.0.0.0 allows both localhost access and hostname access. Default is localhost.
I want to create an iPhone app which makes calls to a web service. For testing, I want to first create the API calls on my mac (server running XAMPP) and if it works fine there I want to port it to the actual server.
If my iPhone and mac are on the same network, can I access the web service using the IP address of my mac?
Thanks.
Any time someone answers with "why not," ignore the post. This just takes up space and adds absolutely no value...their post imitating their life.
Anyway, I access my laptop localhost (WAMP stack) from my iPod Touch by entering the IP address of my laptop on my Touch location bar. There is some configuration that needs to happen for this to work. I found what I needed at:
http://www.frihost.com/forums/vt-88381.html
Good Luck!
I can not speak about actual development, however I access intranet pages from a Ipod Touch all the time by either typing http ://ip or http://local_dns_name
As long as the iphone / ipod is on the network correctly (e.g. through standard wifi and not 3g/whatever) you should be able to access any and all local resources.
What I do:
Connected to the same network, I go in to the wireless settings and create a manual proxy that points to my machine. I use Charles proxy for testing a lot/seeing traffic, works like a charm and it lets me use my macbook hosts file so I don't need to do any funky listening rules in apache - just the same vhost settings I use on my machine already.

Why not?
Have you tried it and have some problems?
