I’ve setup a simple NSURLConnection to query an http-server.

GET /path HTTP/1.1 Host: 192.168.1.161:8282 User-Agent: NetTest1.0 CFNetwork/441.0.2 Darwin/9.6.0 Accept: */* Accept-Language: en-us Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate Pragma: no-cache Connection: keep-alive

The server responds with code 401 and the WWW-Authenticate header set

HTTP/1.1 401 Connection: close Pragma: no-cache Expires: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT Cache-control: no-cache Cache-last-checked: Thu, 01 Dec 1994 16:00:00 GMT Last-modified: Tue, 07 Apr 02009 22:55:48 CEST Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1 WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm:

I would imagine this would send a message to my delegate’s connection: didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge: method, but it does not.

I’ve also implemented

- (BOOL)connectionShouldUseCredentialStorage:(NSURLConnection *)connection {   return FALSE; }

Just to make sure it doesn’t try to send along cached credentials from my keychain, which it does not.

  1. The WWW-Authenticate header looks malformed, try:

    WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm='My Realm'
