i try to request on my application via this url
http://reader.mac.com/mobile/v1/http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F9To5Mac-MacAllDay
and it also return that it available on iPhone only
how can i fix it?
mycode
NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL: [NSURL URLWithString: myurl]];
[urlRequest setValue: #"iPhone" forHTTPHeaderField: #"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16"];
[self.myWebView loadRequest:urlRequest];
UIWebView actually resets the user agent of the request just before it loads the URL. So, you may need to do method swizzling to actually change the user agent string that UIWebView loads in. Be warned, method swizzling could be dangerous.
There's a post that has the code for this.
The name of the http header field is User-Agent.
Try this:
[urlRequest setValue: #"Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU iPhone OS 3_0 like Mac OS X; en-us) AppleWebKit/528.18 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0 Mobile/7A341 Safari/528.16"
forHTTPHeaderField: #"User-Agent"];

I want to send a POST request using Power Query to a website that I access via Facebook authentication. I manage the request to work, but I get access denied. I assume I need to go to login, somehow, but I do not know how to do it. The website I want to access does not have API.
This is the code I used:
let
url_name = "https://www.futmondo.com/2/championship/teams",
headers = [Accept="*/*", #"User-Agent"="Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/84.0.4147.105 Safari/537.36",#"Content-type"="application/x-www-form-urlencoded"],
bod ={[championshipId = "XXXXXXXXX" ]}{0},
BuildQueryString = Uri.BuildQueryString(bod),
Source = Json.Document(Web.Contents(url_name,[Headers = headers,Content=Text.ToBinary(BuildQueryString)])),
answer = Source[answer]
in
answer
And this is the response I get at that moment
access denied
How to use post manner to transmit username and password in order to log in a website on iphone or ipad platform?
Some one has suggest me that use ASIHTTPRequest,but I don't know how to use it．
Can somebody help me ?Thank you ........
ASIHTTPRequest has one of the best how to use pages of any library I have ever encountered. It is located here: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/How-to-use
If you need to post to a web form you could do something like this:
#define kURLString #"https://yourwebsite.com"
NSURL *url = [NSURL urlWithString:kURLString];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setPostValue:#"myname" forKey:#"username"];
[request setPostValue:#"l33td00d" forKey:#"password"];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startSynchronous];
Although in real life you may wish to run the request asynchronous. The details on how to do that are on the page I linked. It is defiantly worth reading.
When I make a request to a particular website, I get the XML response as desired on the simulator but I get a redirect page on the device. I think this is because it is detecting that I am using a mobile browser (similar results occur through Mobile Safari), but I'm setting the user agent string of the request to my laptop browser's UA and blanking the rest (I've also tried setting just the UA):
NSMutableURLRequest* request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
timeoutInterval:60.0];
[request setAllHTTPHeaderFields:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:#"Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.11) Gecko/20101012 Firefox/3.6.11" forKey:#"User-Agent"]];
NSURLConnection* _connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
How could the website still be detecting that I'm using a mobile browser? The same GET works through telnet with zero information, which implies that the default response is the desktop version.
Turns out Mobile Safari will automatically redirect/renegotiate http->https in the simulator, but won't do it on the device.
My problem is the following...
I read about sending http requests and receiving their responses on iPhone SDK 3.2 using NSURLRequest and NSHTTPURLResponse (All my requests are "get" and there's no "post") but I don't know how to do that exactly cause some of my responses are just strings (plain text) and some others are binary files (gzip and mp3)
Thank you in advance for the help
To perform a Http request, I use ASIHttpRequest:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:my_url];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setRequestMethod:#"GET"];
[request startSynchronous];
That works perfectly. Still need to figure out if it's fine with mp3 / zip files.

Is there any way to spoof the user agent on Safari on the iPhone?
So for example, you would create an application on the iPhone that has the embedded Safari browser, however any website the user visits with this browser wouldn't know you were on Safari on the iPhone, it would think you are on something like Safari on a PC, or even IE/FireFox.
Thanks
Yes I think you could change this. It would require a bit of a work around to get it working.
You would need to manually manage all requests. By making your own data requests.
In this data request you can add a HTTPheader for User-Agent which will override the default headers.
NSMutableURLRequest* urlRequest = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:requestURL] autorelease];
[urlRequest setHTTPMethod: #"POST"];
[urlRequest setHTTPBody: [nvpString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[urlRequest addValue:#"Your+User+Agent+String" forHTTPHeaderField:#"User-Agent"];
receivedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] retain];
[receivedData setLength:0];
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest: urlRequest delegate: self];
If you embed the Safari Web Browser in your app you can subscribe to its delegate methods. One of them will notify your application that safari would like to load a URL, this is where you catch this load and get the data your self.
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType{
now you put your code in here to do the data load.
Once the data has loaded. Give it the data string back to the webView. I have set "baseURL:nil" but you might have to correctly set this to maybe the correct domain for this app.
[webView loadHTMLString:newString baseURL:nil]
