The url I'm trying to load is of the form: @"http://user:password@x.x.x.x/something"

All I'm doing is creating an NSURLRequest object and loading the request in a web view like this:

NSString *urlString = @"http://user:password@x.x.x.x/something";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[_webView loadRequest:request];

The page loads fine in iOS 6.0 simulator but not in iOS 5.0 simulator.

What happens in iOS 5.0 is the web view delegate method webViewDidStartLoad: is called but either of the methods webViewDidFinishLoad: or webView:didFailLoadWithError:are not called.

What am I missing?

are you saying, that all delegate methods are called in iOS5.0, but none are called in iOS 6.0? (is this on a device or simulator? if simulator, reset and restart simulator) – Nitin Alabur Dec 10 '12 at 05:24

Also did you try adding `_webView.delegate = self;`? – Parth Bhatt Dec 10 '12 at 09:10

All delegate methods are called in iOS 6. On the other hand, only webViewDidStartLoad: is called in iOS 5. – user1890689 Dec 10 '12 at 14:54
And yes the web view delegate is set in IB. – user1890689 Dec 10 '12 at 15:00
@user1890689: Try setting delegate through coding. – Parth Bhatt Dec 11 '12 at 09:17
@ParthBhatt: Adding _webView.delegate = self; fixed my issue with this. Thanks! – Danation Mar 05 '13 at 18:07
