NSURLConnection and Basic HTTP Authentication in iOS

by

I’m using an asynchronous connection with MGTwitterEngine and it sets the authorization in the NSMutableURLRequest (theRequest) like so:

NSString *authStr = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@:%@", [self username], [self password]];
NSData *authData = [authStr dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSString *authValue = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Basic %@", [authData base64EncodingWithLineLength:80]];
[theRequest setValue:authValue forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];

I don’t believe this method requires going through the challenge loop but I could be wrong
