    <p>Finally I got it!</p> <p>What you can do is this:</p> <p>Initiate your request using <code>UIWebView</code> as normal. Then - in <code>webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest</code> - we reply <strong>NO</strong>, and instead start an NSURLConnection with the same request. </p> <p>Using <code>NSURLConnection</code>, you can communicate with a self-signed server, as we have the ability to control the authentication through the extra delegate methods which are not available to a <code>UIWebView</code>. So using <code>connection:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge</code> we can authenticate against the self signed server. </p> <p>Then, in <code>connection:didReceiveData</code>, we cancel the <code>NSURLConnection</code> request, and start the same request again using <code>UIWebView</code> - which will work now, because we've already got through the server authentication :)</p> <p>Here are the relevant code snippets below.</p> <p>Note: Instance variables you will see are of the following type: <br> <code>UIWebView *_web</code><br> <code>NSURLConnection *_urlConnection</code><br> <code>NSURLRequest *_request</code><br></p> <p>(I use an instance var for <code>_request</code> as in my case it's a POST with lots of login details, but you could change to use the request passed in as arguments to the methods if you needed.)</p> <pre><code>#pragma mark - Webview delegate // Note: This method is particularly important. As the server is using a self signed certificate, // we cannot use just UIWebView - as it doesn't allow for using self-certs. Instead, we stop the // request in this method below, create an NSURLConnection (which can allow self-certs via the delegate methods // which UIWebView does not have), authenticate using NSURLConnection, then use another UIWebView to complete // the loading and viewing of the page. See connection:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge to see how this works. - (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType; { NSLog(@"Did start loading: %@ auth:%d", [[request URL] absoluteString], _authenticated); if (!_authenticated) { _authenticated = NO; _urlConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:_request delegate:self]; [_urlConnection start]; return NO; } return YES; } #pragma mark - NURLConnection delegate - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge; { NSLog(@"WebController Got auth challange via NSURLConnection"); if ([challenge previousFailureCount] == 0) { _authenticated = YES; NSURLCredential *credential = [NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust]; [challenge.sender useCredential:credential forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge]; } else { [[challenge sender] cancelAuthenticationChallenge:challenge]; } } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response; { NSLog(@"WebController received response via NSURLConnection"); // remake a webview call now that authentication has passed ok. _authenticated = YES; [_web loadRequest:_request]; // Cancel the URL connection otherwise we double up (webview + url connection, same url = no good!) [_urlConnection cancel]; } // We use this method is to accept an untrusted site which unfortunately we need to do, as our PVM servers are self signed. - (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace { return [protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust]; } </code></pre> <p>I hope this helps others with the same issue I was having!</p>

    2. COah - well, that's the beauty of `UIWebView` - it does all that for you. The `NSURLConnection` won't automatically fetch from embedded links etc - however here it is only used now to get past the authentication (then we cancel the `NSURLConnection`), then a new `UIWebViewRequest` is created to handle everything else :)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
