// This is an abstract base class that represents a generic mechanism for handling |
// NSURLAuthenticationChallenges. It does very little work; the bulk of the work |
// is done by the various concrete subclasses (such as AuthenticationChallengeHandler). |
// The only real work done here is to maintain a register of challenge handler |
// classes that stand ready to handle various types of challenges. |
// IMPORTANT |
// This is /not/ a UIViewController subclass because certain challenges are |
// resolved without a presenting a full view controller (for example, those |
// that can be resolved with a UIAlertView). |
#import <UIKit/UIKit.h> |
@protocol ChallengeHandlerDelegate; |
@interface ChallengeHandler : NSObject |
{ |
NSURLAuthenticationChallenge * _challenge; |
UIViewController * _parentViewController; |
NSURLCredential * _credential; |
id<ChallengeHandlerDelegate> _delegate; |
BOOL _running; |
} |
+ (BOOL)supportsProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace; |
// Returns true if we have a challenge handler that will handle challenges |
// in the specified protection space. |
+ (ChallengeHandler *)handlerForChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge parentViewController:(UIViewController *)parentViewController; |
// Returns a challenge handler that's prepared to handle the specified challenge |
// (and that presents any modal view controllers on top of parentViewController). |
// Alternatively, returns nil if no one is prepared to handle this challenge. |
+ (NSURLCredential *)noCredential; |
// A special singleton value used to represent no credential. When a challenge |
// is resolved with this value, we call -continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge: |
// rather than -useCredential:forAuthenticationChallenge:. |
@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSURLAuthenticationChallenge * challenge; |
@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) UIViewController * parentViewController; |
// These are the values supplied during construction. |
@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSURLCredential * credential; |
// This represents the credential being used to resolve the challenge. If the |
// challenge UI is still running, this will be nil. Once the challenge UI |
// is done (that is, the challenge handler has called the -challengeHandlerDidFinish: |
// delegate method, or you've called -stop yourself), this will be nil, or |
// +noCredential, or an actual credential. |
@property (nonatomic, assign, readwrite) id<ChallengeHandlerDelegate> delegate; |
@property (nonatomic, assign, readonly, getter=isRunning) BOOL running; |
// This is YES if the challenge UI is currently being displayed. |
- (void)start; |
// Starts the challenge UI running. This transitions isRunning from YES |
// to NO (although it may transition straight back again, see the next point). |
// |
// This may call the -challengeHandlerDidFinish: delegate method immediately. |
// |
// Do not call this twice on the same challenge. |
- (void)stopWithCredential:(NSURLCredential *)credential; |
- (void)stop; |
// Stops the challenge handler running and sets the credential to the value |
// specified. -stop is equivalent to -stopWithCredential: with a nil credential. |
// This can be called either by the challenge UI (when the user completes the |
// UI, just before calling the -challengeHandlerDidFinish: delegate method) or |
// by the client (when external forces cause the challenge to no longer be |
// relevant). It shuts down the UI and transitions isRunning from YES to NO. |
// |
// It's not legal to call this on a challenge that hasn't been started. |
// It's legal to call this on a challenge that's already been stopped. |
- (void)resolve; |
// Called by the client after the challenge has stopped to actually apply the |
// credential to the NSURLAuthenticationChallenge. |
// The following methods are typically used by folks implementating concrete subclasses |
// of ChallengeHandler. |
+ (void)registerHandlers; |
// Called by the handler registry within ChallengeHandler to request that the |
// concrete subclass register itself. |
- (id)initWithChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge parentViewController:(UIViewController *)parentViewController; |
// You can call this directly if you like, but mostly this is called by |
// +handlerForChallenge:parentViewController: to initialise an instance of |
// a concrete challenge handler class. |
// |
// A concrete implementation can return nil to opt out of this specific challenge |
// (in which case +handlerForChallenge:parentViewController: will try to find |
// another appropriate challenge handler class). |
- (void)didStart; |
// In general a subclass will override this to create its UI. |
- (void)willFinish; |
// In general a subclass will override this to shut down its UI. |
- (void)didFinish; |
// This is typically not used by a subclasses. |
+ (void)registerHandlerClass:(Class)handlerClass forAuthenticationMethod:(NSString *)authenticationMethod; |
// Subclasses call this to register themselves for consideration by |
// +handlerForChallenge:parentViewController:. |
// |
// It is acceptable for register yourself twice for the same authentication method. |
// The second registration is treated as a no-op. |
+ (void)deregisterHandlerClass:(Class)handlerClass forAuthenticationMethod:(NSString *)authenticationMethod; |
// Subclasses call this to deregister themselves. This is useful for |
// the ServerTrustChallengeHandler, which deregisters itself if the |
// user has specified that we use the default trust evaluation process. |
// |
// It is acceptable to deregister yourself even if you've not registered |
// yourself. |
@end |
@protocol ChallengeHandlerDelegate <NSObject> |
@required |
- (void)challengeHandlerDidFinish:(ChallengeHandler *)handler; |
// Called by the challenge handler when the user completes the challenge |
// UI. The result of the challenge will be available via the credential |
// property. Call -resolve to apply this to the NSURLAuthenticationChallenge. |
// |
// isRunning will be NO by the time this is called. |
