Ignoring certificate errors with NSURLConnection

by

You could simply ignore the invalid certificate if you are not sending any sensitive information. This article describes how you could do that. Here is an example implementation by Alexandre Colucci for one of the methods described in that article.

Essentially you want to define a dummy interface just above the @implementation:

@interface NSURLRequest (DummyInterface)
+ (BOOL)allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString*)host;
+ (void)setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:(BOOL)allow forHost:(NSString*)host;
@end

And before you call sendSynchronousRequest, invoke the private method you defined in the dummy interface:

[NSURLRequest setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:YES forHost:[URL host]];
