Question

i am using sharepoint webservice for an ipad application. i am sending the credentials required to login to the sharepoint along with the SOAP request. but the problem is when i send wrong username or password it the web service does not throw up any authentication error. instead it gives an html error page as a response. how to validate login credentials?

You try checking the http response code for that error page. Are you using NSURL… or ASIHTTP, etc? Here’s how you get ot the headers in NSHTTPURLResponse:

NSHTTPURLResponse *r = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)response;
NSDictionary *dict = [r allHeaderFields];
