I'm setting up a webview but I need to load the content of the webview using a proxy. Any of you knows how can I'm implement the proxy in NSURLRequest?
for example:
NSString *location=@"http://google.com";
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:location];
NSURLRequest *request=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
// some code to set the proxy
[self.myWebView loadRequest:request];
I'll really appreciate your help
Take a look at iOS URL Loading System as well as NSURLProtocol
You can write a custom NSURLProtocol class for your NSURLRequest. A custom NSURLProtocol can intercept your requests and add proxy to each request. the relevant method is -(void)startLoading
, inside this method you can use Core-Function which is a little low-level api in iOS to add the proxy to each request:
//"request" is your NSURLRequest
NSURL *url = [request URL];
NSString *urlString = [url absoluteString];
CFStringRef urlStringRef = (CFStringRef) urlString;
CFURLRef myURL = CFURLCreateWithString(kCFAllocatorDefault, urlStringRef, NULL);
CFStringRef requestMethod = CFSTR("GET");
CFHTTPMessageRef myRequest = CFHTTPMessageCreateRequest(kCFAllocatorDefault, requestMethod, myURL, kCFHTTPVersion1_1);
self.httpMessageRef = CFHTTPMessageCreateCopy(kCFAllocatorDefault, myRequest);
CFReadStreamRef myReadStream = CFReadStreamCreateForHTTPRequest(kCFAllocatorDefault, myRequest);
// You can add body, headers.... using core function api, CFNetwork.etc
// below code is to set proxy from code if needs
NSString *hostKey;
NSString *portKey;
if ([[[urlString scheme] lowercaseString] isEqualToString:@"https"]) {
hostKey = (NSString *)kCFStreamPropertyHTTPSProxyHost;
portKey = (NSString *)kCFStreamPropertyHTTPSProxyPort;
} else {
hostKey = (NSString *)kCFStreamPropertyHTTPProxyHost;
portKey = (NSString *)kCFStreamPropertyHTTPProxyPort;
}
//set http or https proxy, change "localhost" to your proxy host, change "5566" to your proxy port
NSMutableDictionary *proxyToUse = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"localhost",hostKey,[NSNumber numberWithInt:5566],portKey,nil];
CFReadStreamSetProperty(myReadStream, kCFStreamPropertyHTTPProxy, proxyToUse);
CFReadStreamOpen(myReadStream);
hope this can help you.
Do forget to register your custom NSURLProtocol to your delegate.
You cannot add a proxy to NSURLRequest. You will need to use a 3rd party library like ASIHTTPRequest.
// Configure a proxy server manually
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://allseeing-i.com/ignore"];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setProxyHost:@"192.168.0.1"];
[request setProxyPort:3128];
I have used the below code for Http proxy.
let sessionConfiguration = NSURLSessionConfiguration.defaultSessionConfiguration();
sessionConfiguration.connectionProxyDictionary = [
kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPEnable: true,
kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPPort: myPortInt,
kCFNetworkProxiesHTTPProxy: myProxyUrlString,
]
let url = NSURL(string: endPointUrl)
let postRequest = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: url!, cachePolicy: NSURLRequestCachePolicy.ReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData, timeoutInterval: 10.0)
let jsonString = bodyString
postRequest.HTTPBody = jsonString
postRequest.HTTPMethod = "POST"
postRequest.setValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "Content-Type")
let session = NSURLSession(configuration: sessionConfiguration)
let task = session.dataTaskWithRequest(postRequest){}
