How do I insert a POST request into a UIWebView

Question

For a GET request I\'ve tried this simple method:

NSString *urlAddress = @"http://example.com/";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlAddress];
NSURLReq

Thanks for you answer Seva. I've made a method out of your code, hope this helps other people :)

//-------------------------------------------------------------------
//  UIWebViewWithPost
//       init a UIWebview With some post parameters
//-------------------------------------------------------------------
- (void)UIWebViewWithPost:(UIWebView *)uiWebView url:(NSString *)url params:(NSMutableArray *)params
{
    NSMutableString *s = [NSMutableString stringWithCapacity:0];
    [s appendString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@""
     "
", url]];
    if([params count] % 2 == 1) { NSLog(@"UIWebViewWithPost error: params don't seem right"); return; }
    for (int i=0; i < [params count] / 2; i++) {
        [s appendString: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"\n", [params objectAtIndex:i*2], [params objectAtIndex:(i*2)+1]]];
    }    
    [s appendString: @"
"];
    //NSLog(@"%@", s);
    [uiWebView loadHTMLString:s baseURL:nil];
}

to use it

NSMutableArray *webViewParams = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:
                                 @"paramName1", @"paramValue1",
                                 @"paramName2", @"paramValue2",
                                 @"paramName3", @"paramValue3", 
                                 nil];
[self UIWebViewWithPost:self.webView url:@"http://www.yourdomain.com" params:webViewParams];
