iPhone app to intercept TCP traffic

[ambi1999]

Hi,

Subject: iPhone app to intercept TCP traffic

I would like to write an app for iPhone that will run in background and intercept all TCP traffic on iPhone generated by Safari browser.

Is it possible to write such an app? Any relevant links or articles would be much appreciated.

Anyone aware of similar app that runs on normal iPhone (not jailbreak)?


Thanks.
Ambi.

no, can't be done with public api....

depending on your exact needs you might be able to write/compile an HTTP proxy which runs on the iPhone and logs traffic, then configure the iPhone to access the net through your local proxy.

I'm not sure if you can accept sockets in a background app however.

Whatever the case there's probably no easy out!

yes, can be done but can't go to appstore
