Hello Richard,
Use the -resourceDataUsingCache: method of NSURL to get the data,
then use the -initWithDate:encoding: method of NSString to put it in a
string.
eg.
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:
@"http://www.mydomain.de/file.html";];
NSData *data = [url resourceDataUsingCache: NO];
NSString *htmlCode = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding:
NSUTF8StringEncoding];
Of course, there are much more sophisticated things you can do about
error checking etc, but
that's about the simplest code.
Thanks for your reply. The answer to my question is so obvious. I feel a
bit like a fool... I tried it and of course it worked at least
principally. Unfortunately the machine (web site) I want to grab the
html page from requires authentication. So instead of the page I am
interested in I get back
<html>
<head>
<title>401 Unauthorized</title>
</head>
<body>
<div align="center"><center>
<table border="1" cellspacing="0" width="100%">
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#0000A0">
<p align="center"><font color="#FFFFFF" face="Arial">
<strong>401 Unauthorized !!!</strong></font></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="100%" bgcolor="#F3F3F3" bordercolor="#000080"
bordercolordark="#000080">
<p align="center"><font face="Times New Romain" color="#000000">
<strong>Browser not authentication-capable or authentication
failed.</strong></font></td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Is there any easy way to programmatically pass the user account
(username and password) in order to get the page I am really interested
in?
Thanks a lot,
Andreas
