Get current URL of UIWebView

Question

I already tried getting the current URL of my UIWebView with: webview.request.URL. Unfortunately the NSURL was empty. Anything wrong h

Answer 1

I use the shouldStartLoadWithRequest event (UIWebViewDelegate) to catch URL updates. request.mainDocumentURL.absoluteString will get you the main web page's URL (which is normally what you want), while request.URL.absoluteString will include CSS and JavaScript includes.

Answer 2
