Login to system in iphone. - iphone

Question

I am new in iphone internet programming. I am writing an app which has login screen.
I am using ASIHTTPREQUEST, this is the link myurl.com/index.php what I want to login. In chrome, I looked at from the developer console this url posts to myurl.com/ajax/login.php when I login the system with username and password.
Anyway, when I click the login button after entering username and password in app, it doesn't login the system.It prints the FAIL:1 ( when I write myurl.com/ajax/login.php, FAIL:1 seen in the browser.)
Detailed description of my problem:
"There is an login screen in myurl.com/index.php. And in web browser, if I write my username and passw, It posts to myurl.com/ajax/login.php ( from the developer console). Anyway, in app I have written myurl.com/index.php as a url but when I request it prints the html elements of that page in console. If I write myurl.com/ajax/login.php as a url, it prints FAIL:1 in console. ( normally in web browser I have written myurl.com/ajax/login.php, it gives an FAIL:1)"
Edit: I have solved problem, "forKey: #"username" need to be equal "forKey: #"ID" and "forKey: #"password" need to be equal "forKey: #"PWD". Because in developer console username and password returned as a ID and PWD. Thanks for comment and answer.
This is the code:
-(IBAction)login:(id)sender
{
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:#"https://myurl.com/index.php"];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setTimeOutSeconds:120];
[request setPostValue:studentid.text forKey:#"username"];
[request setPostValue:starspassword.text forKey:#"password"];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startAsynchronous];
[url release];
}
-(void) requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
NSString *responseString = [request responseString];
UIAlertView *alert= [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Success" message:#"http works"
delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"okay" otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease];
[alert show];
NSLog(#"SUCCESS: %#", responseString);
//Request succeeded
}
-(void)alertView:(UIAlertView *)alertView didDismissWithButtonIndex:(NSInteger)buttonIndex
{
}
-(void) requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
NSError *error = [request error];
NSLog(#"ERROR: %#", [error localizedDescription]);
UIAlertView *alert= [[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"fail" message:#"http fails" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"okay" otherButtonTitles:nil]autorelease];
[alert show];
//Request failed
}
Sorry for my english, there are some examples about this topic but I didn't solve this problem. Thanks for your advice.

Answer 1

Have you tried this instead? ASI includes a way to do basic authentication
[request setUsername:studentid.text];
[request setPassword:starspassword.text];
Scroll down to Handling HTTP Authentication
