Alright, I have a rather odd question here. I feel much more comfortable writing code in Objective-C over any other language. I recently had to do some server-side programming, which required me to learn PHP. It works, yeah, but for fun I want to achieve the same thing through Objective-C. So, I created a binary using Xcode's Foundation preset. Here's most of the binary:
#import <Foundation/Foundation.h>
#import "JSONKit.h"
int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
NSString *theURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://blahblahblah.com/blah"];
NSError *err = nil;
NSURLResponse* response = nil;
NSMutableURLRequest* request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
NSURL*URL = [NSURL URLWithString:theURL];
[request setURL:URL];
[request setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData];
[request setTimeoutInterval:30];
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&err];
NSDictionary *someData = [data objectFromJSONData];
NSString *someString = [[someData objectForKey:@"foo"]objectForKey:@"bar"];
//do something
[pool drain];
return 0;
}
Quite basic code. It simply downloads some stuff from my server and I parse the JSON result and get a string that I want to use. So, my question is - how can I run this on my Linux-based server? I know it's possible, maybe using GNUStep (or cocotron?), which I don't know how to use. Anyone have ideas?
