Question

    NSString* HTML = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url usedEncoding:&enc error:&error];

works great, but if there is a redirect I need to know the url of the redirected page.

Any ideas?

Thanks~~

You will probably want to use NSURLConnection and load manually rather than using the stringWithContesOfURL method. Then you can set a URLConnectionDelegate on your connection. When you get redirected, the connection will call this method on your delegate:

- (NSURLRequest *)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection willSendRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request redirectResponse:(NSURLResponse *)redirectResponse

The request argument provides the URL that you are being redirected to. You can inspect it and do what you want with it. If you want to allow the redirect to continue then you should return it from your delegate’s method.
