HTTP Basic Authentication request on UIWebView

[ujjwalt]

I am trying to access a secure website through UIWebView. When I access it through safari, i get an authentication challenge but the same does not appear in my UIWebView in the application. How can I make it appear?

Any pointers, sample code or links will be very helpful. Thanks a lot.

Hi,

i was fighting with same idea today.

in your Controller.h file implement this at the end (after @end):

@interface NSURLRequest (DummyInterface)
+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString*)host;
+ (void)setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:(BOOL)allow forHost:(NSString*)host;
@end

and in your Controller.m file add this line between creating "url" request and calling webview for displaying:

[NSURLRequest setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:YES forHost:[url host]];

it will automaticly accept any certificate from "url" host. I think you already figured out, but i though that someone else will may found thise usefull.. have fun guys

Thanks for I hadn't figured it out. I had been using a view with username and password fields instead of original auth challenge. I'd try to use this now. Thanks a lot.

Sorry for jumping in, but I believe this is an unsupported API? Anyone ever had their app approved with this bit of code?

Thanks!

I tried the code above but does not work. I have already @implementation in my .m file. Should I add the another implementation like @implement NSURLRequest? I tried placing it but I got more errors.

I have an error "NSString may not respond to -host

I need help on this. Thanks in advance.

[SOLVED] OK i have a perfect solution on this address: Delphi Warrior: Products for Cocoa (tm) and iOS (tm)

The provided professinal demo project can handle authentication and also a file downloads. There is NO undocumented API calls so it can be used in AppStore without any problems ...
And it can intercept download of ALL files included in an html document like images, css, javascript etc. And it is freeware ...

Mail me at kirila@abv.bg if somebody finds bugs or have additional wishes.
