I don't think that will do what you want. The actual socket I/O happens in a background thread owned by CFNetwork; I don't think that thread will stop reading data just because your callback on the main thread hasn't returned yet. It just means that, when you do return, you'll immediately get a bigger chunk of data. I've seen this general question of rate limiting asked on the macnetworkprog list. IIRC the answer is that Foundation and CFNetwork don't really give you the tools to do it. You'd have to write your own code using low-level BSD sockets APIs. :-P —Jens_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
