Hey gang,
So, I know there's TinyProxy for the iPhone for Jailbroken phones. I'm not planning to JB my iPhone 3G though, and I really need a way to tether my Macbook to the iPhone so I can surf and such on the Macbook.
I started looking at the iPhone SDK last night and this morning. I noticed there's the "Reachability" example that attempts to connect to various sites and such through both the wifi and the cell networks and reports back the status of each. As such, it's obviously possible to control which radio system connections (I think they use the term Streams instead of Sockets?) talk over.
I'm wondering if we could use that as the basis for a Proxy application? Let Bonjour handle the link between the laptop and the iPhone over Wifi, and then route all incoming requests on the iPhone to the 3G and responses back to the laptop... I'm just not sure yet there's some sort of "serversocket" type thing in the API (Sorry, Java programmer here, so still learning the Mac way of doing things...)
Ideas???
