Thanks for url. I implemented same but whenever I launched my application it asks to change trust settings. Why is it like that?
Other thing is my https server requires username & password so now I am using WebDownload class (which is subclass of NSURLDownload) but it does ask about username & password & required file(which is at server) gets partially downloaded. How can I overcome this?
