NSStream - reverse DNS lookup error
问题 I have to open an NSStream to a wifi access point that has only a numerical address, not a name. It takes NSStream 30-40 seconds to open a socket. In experimenting, i found that telnet-ing to the AP from a windows box was instantaneous, but on a mac, connecting the same 30-40 seconds. in researching telnet, i found that the implementation is a little different on a mac, in that it by default tries to to a name lookup. reading the manual page for telnet, i found: -N Prevents IP address to name
