how to ignore self-signing certificate with NSURLRequest

Question

I need help with trying to bypass/ignor a self signing certificate.. I have looked everywhere and cannot find anything that has worked for me thus far..

I am trying to implements this here however im not sure how to use this code

@implementation NSURLRequest(AllowAllCerts)

+ (BOOL) allowsAnyHTTPSCertificateForHost:(NSString *) host {
    return YES;
}

@end

I add it to my app delegate but then I dont know what to do with it?

any help would be greatly appreciated..

currently I am not using anything because nothing has worked for me..

This is how I got it to work. I added these two methods just below the method where I call my connection to start.

- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace {
    return [protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {

    [challenge.sender useCredential:[NSURLCredential credentialForTrust:challenge.protectionSpace.serverTrust] forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];

    [challenge.sender continueWithoutCredentialForAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}
