I'm looking to see if there's currently any support iPhone/Cocoa-touch frameworks that gives a nice OO wrapper for speaking to the daemon over an IP socket.

Instead of re-inventing the wheel with BSD sockets and CFNetwork type calls, I'm curious if there is currently any open source libraries that already take care of alot of the dirty work?
