Question

I am using Synchronous request and passing the credentials but I am getting authentication error in response. Below is my code of request and response from server.

Request:-

NSURLCredential *userCredentials = [NSURLCredential  credentialWithUser:@"username"
                                                               password:@"paswd"
                                                            persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];

NSURLProtectionSpace *space = [[NSURLProtectionSpace alloc] initWithHost:@"http://webaddress.inc.com"
                                                                    port:80
                                                                protocol:@"http"
                                                                   realm:@"webaddress.inc.com"
                                                    authenticationMethod:nil];

[[NSURLCredentialStorage sharedCredentialStorage] setCredential:userCredentials
                                             forProtectionSpace:space];

NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://webaddress.inc.com"]
                                                          cachePolicy:NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed
                                                      timeoutInterval:30];


NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *error;

NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest
                                           returningResponse:&response
                                                       error:&error];

/////////// Response

401 Authorization Required

Note: If I am sending the request with async request it is working fine as in that case
didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge is giving them the required credentials when asked for.

I am sure there might be something missing in my code.

Waiting for your valuable inputs.

Have you ever tried ASIHTTPRequest which makes easier http operations in IPhone enviroment. And It has really simple and good documentation. I used to use it inside of my projects, It was working awesome.
