Question

I need to connect to a protected site and try to use ASIHTTPRequest

Here is my code:

url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://myurl/page.aspx"];

ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setUsername:username];
[request setPassword:password];
[request setDomain:domain];
[request startSynchronous];
NSError *error = [request error];
if (!error) {
    [webView loadHTMLString:[request responseString] baseURL:[request url]];
    }

When I use NSLog to see [request responseString], I get the correct HTML, but the result is a blank white webview.
From the outgoing request warnings that little snitch displays, I see the initial request and one going to an external resource.

My guess so far is that the inital request correctly uses the authentication from ASIHTTPRequest and fetches the page, but the uiwebview will try to load the included .js files and since uiwebview is not authenticating, it will not render the page at all …

Anybody knows how to fix my problem?

Answer 1

Have you tried ASIWebPageRequest? My guess is you have resources in that page that are not downloaded, like http://myurl/image.jpg
