I am attempting to get the HTML of a URL with the NSURL function. The code runs well and the HTML is properly returned when executed from the playground, however when I implement it into a button from the storyboard the app crashes. I changed the App Transport Security in the Info.plist file, however I am still encountering a crash. Here is my Info.plist: https://i.stack.imgur.com/sMSv0.jpg. The error message also says that there is a nil value, however I have tested the variables in the function and everything seems to be != nil.
Playground code:
let myUrl = NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com")
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: myUrl!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
data, response, error in
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
self.testLabel.text = "\(responseString)"
if error != nil {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
}
task.resume()
XCode code:
import UIKit
import Foundation
class ViewController: UIViewController {
@IBOutlet weak var testLabel: UILabel!
@IBAction func testButton(sender: UIButton) {
let myUrl = NSURL(string: "http://www.google.com")
let request = NSMutableURLRequest(URL: myUrl!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) {
data, response, error in
let responseString = NSString(data: data!, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
self.testLabel.text = "\(responseString)"
if error != nil {
print("Error: \(error)")
}
}
task.resume()
}
override func viewDidLoad() {
super.viewDidLoad()
}
override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
}
}
Error message:
2015-10-29 10:20:36.127 testProject[1263:49414] App Transport Security has blocked a cleartext HTTP (http://) resource load since it is insecure. Temporary exceptions can be configured via your app's Info.plist file. fatal error: unexpectedly found nil while unwrapping an Optional value (lldb)
