Connecting to HTTPS with Untrusted Certificate from iPhone OS

By default one can use NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection to connect to a HTTP/HTTPS server. However, the iPhone OS may block the connection if the HTTPS server does not have a trusted certificate (e.g. a self-signed certificate is considered untrusted). After some Googling, here is one of the solutions: Adding the following two functions to the NSURLConnection delegate.

Windows Azure SDK Requirements

• Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows Server 2008 / Windows Server 2008 R2

Access Java Class Variables from NDK

Access Java class variables from NDK (non-static function) in C:

• env and obj are the first two parameters of the NDK function
• "Ljava/lang/String;" is called the field descriptor of type String

Field Descriptor of other Variable Types:

• Remember the semi-colon
• Replace "Get" by "Set" for Set Field Functions

Field Descriptor	Type	Get Field Function
Z	boolean	GetBooleanField
B	byte	GetByteField
C	char	GetCharField
S	short	GetShortField
I	int	GetIntField
J	long	GetLongField
F	float	GetFloatField
D	double	GetDoubleField
Ljava/lang/String;	String	GetObjectField
[I	int[]	GetObjectField, and then cast it to an array jintArray *arr = reinterpret_cast<jintArray*>(&data);
[Ljava/lang/Object;	object[]	GetObjectField, and then cast it to an array
