Headless Browser for iOS? [closed]

Question

Basically, what I am trying to do is create an application that goes to a website, logs in, and downloads certain information. I have been told that the most efficient way to do this is to use a "headless web browser," that is a web interface without a front end, such as HTMLUnit. I have not been able to find such a thing for objective-c, however (it is an iOS app). Does anyone know where I might find one?

Thanks,

You have a couple of options. If it's using OAuth, or HTTP authentication, and you're just downloading files, you want NSURLConnection.

However, if JavaScript or web pages that need to be displayed are involved, take a look at UIWebView.
