iOS Question Untrusted SSL Certificates

[BillMeyer]

Good Day,

In b4a I use the following to work around an untrusted SSL certificate (From @Warwound = WebviewExtras2)

Sub Process_Globals

End Sub

Sub Globals
   Dim WebView1 As WebView
   Dim WebViewExtras1 As WebViewExtras
End Sub

Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   WebView1.Initialize("")
   Activity.AddView(WebView1, 0, 0, 100%x, 100%y)
  
   WebViewExtras1.Initialize(WebView1)
   '   WebViewExtras1 now has all the methods and properties of WebView1 plus it's additonal methods and properties
   '   so you can use WebView1 to get/set WebView properties/methods
   '   or use WebViewExtras1 to get/set WebView1 properties/methods with the additional properties/method of WebViewExtras
  
   Dim WebViewClient1 As DefaultWebViewClient
   WebViewClient1.Initialize("WebViewClient1")
  
   WebViewExtras1.SetWebViewClient(WebViewClient1)
  
   WebViewExtras1.LoadUrl("http://google.co.uk/")
End Sub

Sub Activity_Resume

End Sub

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)

End Sub

Sub WebViewClient1_ReceivedSslError(SslErrorHandler1 As SslErrorHandler, SslError1 As SslError)
   Log("WebViewClient1_ReceivedSslError: "&SslError1.GetUrl)
  
   '   you might want to take action depending on the type of the SSL error:
   Select SslError1.GetPrimaryError
     Case SslError1.SSL_DATE_INVALID
       Log("SSL_DATE_INVALID")
     Case SslError1.SSL_EXPIRED
       Log("SSL_EXPIRED")
     Case SslError1.SSL_IDMISMATCH
       Log("SSL_IDMISMATCH")
     Case SslError1.SSL_INVALID
       Log("SSL_INVALID")
     Case SslError1.SSL_MAX_ERROR
       Log("SSL_MAX_ERROR")
     Case SslError1.SSL_NOTYETVALID
       Log("SSL_NOTYETVALID")
     Case SslError1.SSL_UNTRUSTED
       Log("SSL_UNTRUSTED")
   End Select
  
   '   you might want to compare the url that raised the error with a known trusted URL and Proceed or Cancel with the page loading:
   If SslError1.GetUrl="http://my_trusted_domain.com" Then
     SslErrorHandler1.Proceed
   Else
     SslErrorHandler1.Cancel
   End If
  
End Sub

Particularly the "WebViewClient1_ReceivedSslError" sub works well.

My question is "Is there an equivalent in b4i ?"

I have used the Safari Controller as a workaround, but my clients are not happy with the "Unsafe Site" warning that pops up the first time before you can proceed.

I would appreciate some guidance or snippets here please.

It is more complicated in iOS. How many resources do you need to load? You can use iHttpUtils2 to download the resources and then load them from the file system.

Thanks Erel - thats an unexplored avenue - I'll give it a shot.
