I'm trying to parse XML directly from an HTTPS URL, as follows:
NSString *const URL = @"https://some/HTTPS/url";;
NSURL* url = [NSURL URLWithString:URL];NSXMLParser* parser =
[[NSXMLParser
alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url];
[parser setDelegate:self];
[parser parse];

This seems to work fine for HTTP URL's, but shows no result for an
HTTPS
URL.
How could I fix this?
I don't think the problem is the HTTPS url scheme as such. It's more
likely something to do with the server at the far end. For instance,
your HTTPS URL may require that some credentials are passed to the
server (e.g. if it's using HTTP Basic auth.), and in that case I don't
see how the -initWithContentsOfURL: method would know what to do on
its own.
In that case, you might need to use NSURLConnection/NSURLRequest to do
the fetch from the server first, so that you can respond to the
relevant delegate methods and provide the necessary authentication data.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
