Question

For a GET request I’ve tried this simple method:

NSString *urlAddress = @"http://example.com/";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[uiWebViewThingy loadRequest:request];

(Although it doesn’t seem to work if the request contains high UTF-8 characters. )

I want to send a POST from the iPhone.

This also give an overview for sending POST/GET requests although what I really want to do is embed the resulting web page into UIWebView. What would be the best way to go around that?

Answer 1

You can use an NSMutableURLRequest, set the HTTP method to POST, and then load it into your UIWebView using -loadRequest.
