NSData contentsOfURL constructor returns nil

Question

I\'m trying to access an API I made in PHP. It works fine in browser, but I can\'t get this code to fetch any sort of data from any given webpage.

var jsonDa         


        

Answer 1

the code is correct but the data isn't in UTF it seems so it fails to make the NSString.

fails in swift & objC

for that server data is in NSISOLatin2StringEncoding

it differs based on the HTTP endpoint and normally UTF8 is fine

    var jsonData: NSData = NSData(contentsOfURL: NSURL(string: "https://www.google.com"))
    let string1 = NSString(data: jsonData, encoding: NSISOLatin1StringEncoding)
    println(string1)

shows the page's sourcecode
