iOS Question B4J as server, B4I as client: best practice ?

[wl]

Hi,

Taking into account that future iOS apps should communicate through HTTPs to their server and support ipV6, was is the best way of having a client in iOS (B4I) to communicate to a server (B4J) ?

I was thinking of:

- HTTPs post requests passing serialized objects
- B4J running Jetty server in port 443 (certificate of Let's encrypt). Is this possible ?

The VPS the server is running has an IPV6 address: anything more to be configured ?

Thanks !

B4J servers support HTTPS connections: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/40130/#content

The IPv6 feature is not relevant here. Your server doesn't need to support it.

thanks Erel, I was aware of your answers. It was more of a "conceptual" question

I run that kind of setup for in house solutions. It doesn't make sence as you scale up. The server object has virtually no control paramiters exposed to control the server in a typical way.

I like php servers, but putting one public scares me.....plan an instant break in. I lean towards a java servlet server as I go towards an enterprise model.

That said, I use the server object for my main webserver. But no one knows who / where I am .....
