iOS UI inside auth delegate

[chhoda]

I am using

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

function to pass through my firrewall using my usercedentials hard coded here.

But I want user to be prompted for username and password through an UI

but when i show the UI, it is non blocking and the response receipt is not waiting for the username and password entered. Any idea how to achieve this ?

Dont you have to call
