Given this, I'm suspecting it responds to HTTP Posts, rather than XML-RPC or SOAP requests.

But both those protocols do use HTTP POSTs. (XML-RPC can use alternate transports, but in practice it's almost always over HTTP.)

Fair point. I didn't use the correct terminology (which stems from the fact that I'm stumbling around a bit while learning this). I think it's more accurate to say that the device doesn't respond well to the tags in XML-RPC or SOAP. It does better with a single string.



I've seen references to a Cocoa wrapper for curl, but they're from 2002. Looking through Apple's documentation for a more up-to-date method for sending HTTP Posts, it appears that I could make HTTP Posts from CFNetwork (CFHTTPMessage with a POST method) or through NSURLRequest.

Pretty much every Cocoa app that does HTTP uses NSURLRequest. It's definitely the way to go for what you're doing. Create a mutable one, then use its HTTP-specific setters to configure the method and headers and set a body.
