I'm currently working with objective-c and have run in to a problem concerning javascript. I am connecting to a website through an iphone app and my goal is to login to a html form (Login.jsp) 

<label class="login_label">Username</label>
     <input autocomplete="off" type="text" value="" name="ssusername" size="20" maxlength="50" />

     <label class="login_label">Password</label>
     <input autocomplete="off" type="password" name="sspassword" size="20" maxlength="20" value=""/>

I am trying to make a NSUrlConnection to this site in objective-c but the concern is this: If I enter

 https://www.login.com/Login.jsp?ssusername=%@&sspassword=%@, username.text, password.text

It will only enter the enter the password in the html form. And when I look at the javascript I suspect it has something to do with the value in the username html code being value=""

My question: Is it possible to, without changing the html code (as I don't have access to it) make a NSUrlConnection passing username and password and retrieving the answer from this html form, or if anyone know why the username wont show when the adress is entered as above?

  • can you show full HTML form code instead of label ? What is the action method ? Post or GET method ? https://www.login.com/Login.jsp?ssusername=%@&sspassword=%@ is only for get method. Need to more detail of your HTML form method. – saturngod Apr 15 '13 at 06:00

I think, login method may use POST method and your NSURLConnection is using get method.

You can check at POST with NSURLConnection - NO JSON.

It depends on server side. You can't really change input field value via GET parameters -- it's server-side job. You can execute JS code to enter username and password and then click login button via UIWebView's stringByEvaluatingJavaScriptFromString function or you can check this site/server documentation for some authentication methods and then use them (like @saturngod suggested).
