Overview

A protection space defines a series of matching constraints that determine which credential should be provided. For example, if a request provides your delegate with a URLAuthenticationChallenge object that requests a client username and password, your app should provide the correct username and password for the particular host, port, protocol, and realm, as specified in the challenge’s protection space.
