Ajax https call in ios using PhoneGap not working?

Question

I could not able to do https POST call using ajax from ipad/iphone. Actually I am trying to call this in my PhoneGap application.

Could you please help me in this regard.

Answer 1

Did you try to add this at the end of you AppDelegate.m file

@implementation NSURLRequest(DataController)
+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host
{
    return YES; 
}
@end

Answer 2

You have not stated the kind of certificate on the server. I suspect that it is self signed. I have also had the same problem. Doing Ajax calls to a server with self signed certificated is NOT possible and this is a SDK limitation. You must write an Objective C plugin to go around this.

Answer 3

TDeBailleul,

Your code seems to work for an anonymous area of the web server, but doesn't work for myself in an Authorized area (cgi.auth_user) with Basic/NTLM authorization.

PhoneGap for iOS FAQ Q. Can I do AJAX with servers that have self-signed certificates? A. No, this is a iOS SDK limitation with UIWebview. You'll have to write an Objective-C plugin.
