Is there a way to load unsecured sites on WKWebview? (e.g. http://)

I have no issues with SSL sites (https://) but I cannot get unsecured sites to load completely...they only load partially.

It does not matter if I have sandboxing on/off...tried that. Of course just because a site is not secured does not mean it's sinister.

import Cocoa

import WebKit

class ViewController: NSViewController, WKUIDelegate, WKNavigationDelegate {

var webView: WKWebView!

override func viewDidLoad() {

super.viewDidLoad()

self.webView.uiDelegate = self

self.webView.navigationDelegate = self

webView.frame = CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 900, height: 500)

view.addSubview(webView)

let url = URL(string: "http://www.internetlivestats.com/total-number-of-websites/")

let request = URLRequest(url: url!)

webView = WKWebView(frame: self.view.bounds)

webView.load(request)

}

Try adding this to your Info.plist:

  <key>NSAppTransportSecurity</key>
  <dict>
  <key>NSAllowsArbitraryLoads</key>
  <true/>
  </dict>

Apple by default disables http from apps as a security measure.

You should be able to enable it in your info.plist

See:

Be sure to take note of the requirement to justify using http requests if your app is going to be made available through the app store.
