How to get Redirected URL

Question

I have a URL.when i try to open it in browser, it will redirect to another URL & display the Content. I want that content But i don't get that redirected URL. So, I can't able to display data.

How can i do that programmatically??

e.g. URL which i have : http://www.windpowerengineering.com/?p=11020

& the redirected URL is: http://www.windpowerengineering.com/design/mechanical/blades/bladeless-turbine-converts-wind-into-fluid-power/

I want this redirected URL. How can i get this?

Answer 1

1) Specify that your class conforms to the UIWebViewDelegate protocol (and make sure your WebView's delegate outlet is connected to your view controller):

@interface YourWebsiteViewController : UIViewController <UIWebViewDelegate>

2) Add the following delegate method:

-(void)webViewDidStartLoad:(UIWebView *)webView
{
    NSURL *url = [webView.request mainDocumentURL];
    NSLog(@"The Redirected URL is: %@", url);
}

Depending on what you're trying to do with this information, you might want to substitute #2 for this method (which will allow you the opportunity to prevent a page from loading):

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType
{
    NSURL *url = [request mainDocumentURL];
    NSLog(@"The Redirected URL is: %@", url);
    // Return YES if you want to load the page, and NO if you don't.
    return NO;
}
