# NSURLAuthenticationMethodHTMLForm

Use HTML form authentication for this protection space.

## Declaration

```swift
let NSURLAuthenticationMethodHTMLForm: String
```

## Discussion

Discussion The URL loading system never issues authentication challenges based on this authentication method. However, if your app authenticates by submitting a web form (or in some other protocol-neutral way), you can specify this protection space when you persist or look up credentials using the URLCredentialStorage class.
