I am developing an app for iOS. In my app there is a working TCP-connection to a server, realized via NSStreams
. Now I need the port the connection is using which generates some problems.
I can get the IP from iterating through the interfaces of the device but for the portnumber I have to get the information from the socket. In the following code I try to get the socket from my working and open NSInputStream _readstream
. The problem is, that CFSocketCopyAddress
is nil and I cannot see why. Can somebody else?
Any help is very much appreciated!
// Initializing some variables we need
CFSocketContext context;
memset(&context, 0, sizeof(context));
context.info = (__bridge void*)self;
NSString *property = @"kCFStreamPropertySocketNativeHandle";
// Get hands on the used socket via the socket native handle
CFSocketNativeHandle *socketNativeHandle = (CFSocketNativeHandle*)CFReadStreamCopyProperty((__bridge CFReadStreamRef)(_readStream), (__bridge CFStringRef)(property));
CFSocketRef cfSocket = CFSocketCreateWithNative(NULL, *socketNativeHandle, kCFSocketNoCallBack, nil, &context);
// Ask the socket for the address information
CFDataRef dataRef = CFSocketCopyAddress(cfSocket); // dataRef is always nil :(
struct sockaddr_in *sockaddr = (struct sockaddr_in*)CFDataGetBytePtr(dataRef);
int portnumber = sockaddr->sin_port;
OKay, this works for me now. Maybe I can help someone coming from google or from somewhere else....
- (NSNumber*) getPortnumber{
int port = -1;
CFSocketContext context;
memset(&context, 0, sizeof(context));
context.info = (__bridge void*)self;
// Get Socket native handle from existing stream
CFDataRef socketData = CFWriteStreamCopyProperty((__bridge CFWriteStreamRef)(_writeStream), kCFStreamPropertySocketNativeHandle);
// Get the native handle
CFSocketNativeHandle handle;
CFDataGetBytes(socketData, CFRangeMake(0, sizeof(CFSocketNativeHandle)), &handle);
// Get the socket
CFSocketRef cfSocket = CFSocketCreateWithNative(NULL, handle, kCFSocketNoCallBack, nil, &context);
// CFSocketCopyAddress will return the address of the socket
CFDataRef dataRef = CFSocketCopyAddress(cfSocket);
struct sockaddr_in *sockaddr = (struct sockaddr_in*)CFDataGetBytePtr(dataRef);
// Get the port from the address information
port = sockaddr->sin_port;
// Output Objective-C friendly =)
NSNumber *portnr = [NSNumber numberWithInt:port];
return portnr;
}
