Problem: UIWebView doesn't accept cookies

I'm having a problem with UIWebView and Cookies.

I'm trying to install a chat that loads from a URL. Everything is OK, until I write something. I get a warning asking to enable cookie on my browser (uiwebview inside the app), a then it blocks the nick...

Well, I'm trying to figure this out for a while, and I'm if not even sure it is possible! The app is almost finished and I still have this problem...

I'm trying to work NSHTTPCookieStorage but so far it didn't work.

Any ideas?

Sorry if this is a noob question...

I found the problem.

This is the problem. Apple docs:

Code:

NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways
Accept all cookies. This is the default cookie accept policy.
Available in iOS 2.0 and later.
Declared in NSHTTPCookieStorage.h.

But IT'S NOT the default accept policy! It was blocking the cookies, and with this code I fix it:

Code:

    NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieStorage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage 
                                          sharedHTTPCookieStorage]; 
    [cookieStorage setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways];
