Question

I am trying to find a way to load a website (for server call purposes) but I don t want it to open neither in safari nor in a UIWebView . I usually use this code for opening in safari

[[UIApplication sharedApplication]
     openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]];

and for the UIWebViews

[web loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:thelink]]];

I tried to use the UIWebView without actually having a physical one but the page didn’t load (I know that because the server call were not made at all)

thanks

Just use

NSString *connected = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"] encoding:NSStringEncodingConversionAllowLossy error:nil];

if connected is != NULL then everything worked fine
