I developed an internet-based IOS app,and my app communicates with the server through html requests.
It works perfect when I test it locally. But when I test it through the internet,it seems the html requests can't be received by the server.
I am using my Mac Pro as the server ,and the laptop is connected to the internet via the same wifi as the my iPhones.
So,how can I make a laptop connected to internet via wifi an server?
There are a lot of complications to making something available on the internet from a home machine, and it's not clear from your problem statement where the problem lies. Here are some of the most common gotchas:
Check that the server is accessible from another computer on the same local area network as the server (leave the iOS device out of it at firs - if not, the server is misconfigured. Check firewall settings on the server.
I understand that you want this accessible from devices outside the local area network (ie, you want it to be usable from anywhere, not just your home network). For this, you must configure your router to forward the appropriate port (probably 80, depending on the server software you're using) to the server. This is called "Port Forwarding" or other similar names (depending on the router manufacturer); consult the documentation for your router for information on how to enable it, as the process varies between make and model. Note that some ISP's supply a cable/dsl modem that has it's own firewall in it (for example, comcast business class does this), so you may also have to set up port forwarding on that as well.
You need to specify the external IP address of the server (you can use whatsmyip.com or similar to find it) when connecting to it over the internet, not the LAN IP.
