We are
* a German IT consulting company and we focus on
* mapping business processes to IT solutions, working on
* intra- and internet applications
Currently we are looking
* for a iOS programmer (with good Javascript/XHTML skills, too)
* to build a lean native iOS wrapper application which is supposed to execute tcp/ip-socket operations and to overcome
* the same origin policy (SOP) of a browser
* as we'd like to make AJAX calls to foreign servers (and non-http ports)
* out of a rich internet application (RIA)
In case of a succesful inital cooperation, we got lots more tasks to be done! ;-)
## Deliverables
The scenario is quite simple:
We've got a RIA which would like to connect to a foreign server. But, of course, that's not possible, because of the "same origin policy".
So, your task is to wrap a browser widget within a simple GUI, means build a simple app containing a browser element. Whenever the RIA (from within the browser) makes a certain call, the app gets it and redirects it to a particular destination IP and port. Then it receives some data from the destination and sends it forward to the RIA. (The destination may be a simple 1 line php which just answers a string.)
Please feel free to discuss with us possible impacts, regarding the iOS platform. We are openminded to suggestions for other solutions to overcome the SOP policy for our scenario.
