Make app act as a Server

Question

I'm using CocoaHTTPServer, and I'm able to start the server. In my resources folder, I added a file called "index.html", and here is something that made me confused.

• I can get the path of the index file by

  [mainbundle pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html"]

  but it gave me the path as /Users/Library/Application%20Support/iPhone%20Simulator/7.0.3/Applications/. Is there any way to make the path become a web-url like http://127.0.0.1:56000/user/library/.../index.html" to load it on an UIWebView.

• I want to get the file path like the format above because I want to catch when the UIWebView request to it and when will the app response.

Is there any way for me to achieve it?? Thanks in advance.

1. You can load a resource into a UIWebView like this

   NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:@"index" ofType:@"html" inDirectory:@"www"]];
   [webview loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];
   

2. For catching the requests of a UIWebView please check UIWebViewDelegate protocol here. You can play around with following method for example webView:shouldStartLoadWithRequest:navigationType:
