I am trying to play an MP3 file from a weblocation (http://domain.com/file.mp3). The only thing that seems to work is using the MPMoviePlayerController. Is this really the only option? I searched and read that AVPlayer should also be able to play such URLs but can't get it to work. ...
Part of our RESTful API will allow users to register an item with a serial number. As the serial number is not globally unique it cannot be used as the identifier of the resource, so we'll use a POST to the parent resource which will generate an identifier, e.g. POST /my/items <item serial-number="ABCDEF" /> In the case where the ite...

I want to be able to ...
