Dear Conrad, I appreciate so much for your reply!
I have a Java based server. So iPad needs to communicate with it. Moreover, I hope a P2P model can be established between the server and multiple iPads. Therefore, I hope I could use TCP to design the protocol directly instead of using HTTP. However, I have NOT got sufficient materials to program TCP on iPad. Thanks so much!
