Login for a webservice?

[blackyE]

Hi guys,


i come from germany and there is nothing available for the iphone sdk.


my question is, is it possible to make an app for the iphone where i can login to a webservice and show me the status of my order?
the view should not show me a webview but a view in the iphone!

can anybody help me plz and give me some tips, tutorials or sample codes!

thanks,
blackyE

Something i found useful for talking to a SOAP web service running in a windows server 2003 is ASIHTTP (pokeb's asi-http-request at master — GitHub), i had to compose the xml query myself using TouchXML and parse the response with NSXMLParser.
Also got some great response from ASIHTTP's developer to adapt it for SOAP webservice, it also has authentification and progress state support.
In the end i got a good way of sending program objects to the SOAP service an getting objects back (something that should already be included in the SDK IMHO).

What you need is already explained with a working example in the ASIHTTPRequest example that you will find here http://github.com/pokeb/asi-http-request/tarball/master

I couldn't explain it better that a working code, take some time to analyze it, shouldn't be a problem
