Currently I am consuming a soap web service using block in ios my source code is as follows

NSString *xml = requestXMLToSent; NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%lu", (unsigned long)[xml length]]; NSURL *serviceURL = [NSURL URLWithString: url]; NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:serviceURL]; [urlRequest addValue:@"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"]; [urlRequest addValue: serviceURL forHTTPHeaderField:@"SOAPAction"]; [urlRequest addValue:msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"]; [urlRequest setHTTPBody: [xml dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [urlRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:urlRequest queue:[[NSOperationQueue alloc]init] completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *connectionError) { if (connectionError == NULL) { NSHTTPURLResponse * httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *) response; NSInteger statuscode = httpResponse.statusCode; if (statuscode == 200) { NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSLog(@"response String : %@",responseString); }else{ NSLog(@"%@",response); } }else{ NSLog(@"There is an error in URL connection and the Error is : %@",connectionError); }

I am getting the following error @ console 

NSURLConnection/CFURLConnection HTTP load failed (kCFStreamErrorDomainSSL, -9813)

There is an error in URL connection and the Error is : Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1202 "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “www.xxxxxxxx.net” which could put your confidential information at risk." UserInfo=0x10948bbb0 {NSUnderlyingError=0x109470d10 "The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “www.xxxxxx.net” which could put your confidential information at risk.", NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=https: // www.----------------------------------, NSErrorFailingURLKey=https: // ------------------------- NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=Would you like to connect to the server anyway?, NSURLErrorFailingURLPeerTrustErrorKey=, NSLocalizedDescription=The certificate for this server is invalid. You might be connecting to a server that is pretending to be “www.xxxxxx.net” which could put your confidential information at risk.}

  • @iPatel How can i sort it out if I am using block [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:<#(NSURLRequest *)#> queue:<#(NSOperationQueue *)#> completionHandler:<#^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *connectionError)handler#>] Commented Apr 23, 2014 at 10:47

Server is throwing SSL certificate error. For the sake of testing, you can add the following code to the appDelegate: + (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *)host { return YES; }

This will bypass the SSL error

Note: works for NSURLConnection & UIWebView, but not for WKWebView

Edited:

For iOS 9, above procedure don't work. Add the following snippet in info.plist:

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key> <true/> </dict>

amazing! You saved my day!!
This is extremely useful information. I ran into this issue when I started compiling for iOS 9, and it was remarkably tricky to find out what was wrong. This was it.
this works for iOS 9.x, but on iOS 10.x it fails again. Does anyone know the resolution for iOS 10?
Unable to make it work on iOS 10.x. I haven't found any working solutions online.

I assume you use https scheme in your serviceURL and your test server has problems with SSL certificate. If so and you trust it, implement next methods in your NSURLConnection delegate's:

- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace { return YES; } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge { if([challenge.protectionSpace.host isEqualToString:@"127.0.0.1"] /*check if this is host you trust: */ ) [challenge.sender useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge]; }

To have a delegate initialize your NSURLConnection for example with initWithRequest:delegate:startImmediately: method.

Check your delegates are actually being called.

This documentation explains that your delegates may not be getting called in certain circumstances.

https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/URLLoadingSystem/Articles/AuthenticationChallenges.html

Important: The URL loading system classes do not call their delegates to handle request challenges unless the server response contains a WWW-Authenticate header. Other authentication types, such as proxy authentication and TLS trust validation do not require this header.

In iOS 9.0 add the following to info.plist

<key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key> <dict> <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key><true/> </dict>

Doing this blindly without understanding the implications is a dangerous solution.
