I wish to download a HTML page from yahoo finance. I have come up with
the following code:
NSString *dataAsString;
dataAsString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:
@"http://chart.yahoo.com/t?a=02&b=01&c=01&d=02&e=20&f=01&g=d&s=itwo&y=0&z=
itwo"]];
NSLog(dataAsString);
When I try this, nothing is written to the log. If I put another URL,
like "http://www.apple.com/quicktime"; in, it works fine, and I get the
html written to the log. Can anyone think why this wouldn't work?
Also, if I copy the URL into a browser, I get the correct web page.
Help would be much appreciated.

It's a dynamic page and as such there's probably a re-direct or other
trickery going on. Their web server probably parses the url and sends a
separate stream of HTML from somewhere else. I don't think a simple
NSURL will get you what you need.
