connectionShouldUseCredentialStorage(_:)

Sent to determine whether the URL loader should use the credential storage for authenticating the connection.

Declaration

optional func connectionShouldUseCredentialStorage(_ connection: NSURLConnection) -> Bool

Parameters

  • connection:

    The connection sending the message.

Discussion

This method is called before any attempt to authenticate is made.

If you return false, the connection does not consult the credential storage automatically, and does not store credentials. However, in your connection:didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge: method, you can consult the credential storage yourself and store credentials yourself, as needed.

Not implementing this method is the same as returning true.
