Hi everyone,
I hope I subscribed to the right list for this sort of question. If not, please
point me to the correct one.
Anyway, for a project I am working on, I am planning to provide a RESTful web
service. Since said service is targeted at IOS devices, I thought it would make
sense to develop the API using Objective-C, too.
So, I set up GNUstep on a box running Debian Wheezy and compiled the WebServer
library / package.
The testWebServer application worked fine and after looking at the code in
testWebServer.m, I attempted to switch from http to https by changing:
[server setPort: [defs stringForKey: @"Port"] secure: nil];
to
[server setPort: @"443" secure: [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
@"/tmp/server.pem", @"CertificateFile",
@"/tmp/server.key", @"KeyFile",
@"somepassword", @"Password",nil]];
>From what I saw in the documentation and sources, that is how I understood the
>syntax and compilation showed no errors.
However, the application always responds with a line like this:
2013-05-22 12:13:13.516 testWebServer[15071] Failed to listen on port 443
The weird thing is that, it does not even matter if I give a filename or not,
so the problem must occur before the NSFileHandle is created on that file.
There is no other service listening on said port, and although I run the test
as root, I also tried a higher port (>1024) - just in case.
I double-checked that binary is linked against libgnutls, libgcrypt, etc. which
it is and am at a loss now as to what I may be missing?
Thanks for any and all pointers,
Martin
