I am trying to make a simple GET request using NSURLConnection in XCode 6 (Beta7 2) on iOS 8 SDK, which is failing with "Code 1005, the network connection was lost". The call fails when I try to fetch http://www.google.com or a few other sample pages from the web, but succeeds if I make a request to a simple HTTP server on localhost (python -m SimpleHTTPServer). I have also tried using AFNetworking library (2.4.1) - URLs that fail with NSURLConnection also fail with the library.
Here's my code -
NSString * url = @"http://0.0.0.0:8000";
// NSString * url = @"http://www.google.com";
NSLog(@"URL : %@", url);
// Mutable is probably not required, but just in case it REALLY WANTS me to set HTTP method
NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
NSURLResponse *urlResponse = nil;
NSError *error = nil;
NSData * data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest
returningResponse:&urlResponse
error:&error];
if (error == nil) {
NSString *response = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(response);
} else {
NSString *response = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", [error userInfo]);
}
