URL not loading in UIWebView

Question

I am trying to get this Outlook Web Access demo account to load in an iPhone's UIWebView, and it does absolutely nothing. I don't even get an error code with the UIWebViewDelegate didfailLoadwithError method. Here's the details:

URL: https://webmail.123Together.com/exchange/  
Username: test@123Together.com  
Password: test

I would like to get this successfully loaded using webView loadrequest method if possible.

An interesting and different approach is ASIWebPageRequest by Ben Copsey:

The ASIWebPageRequest class included with ASIHTTPRequest lets you download complete webpages, including external resources like images and stylesheets.

Available at: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ASIWebPageRequest

.. or, by the same author, ProxyingUIWebView:

This project demonstrates a UIWebView that proxies nearly all HTTP requests via a local web-server.

In both cases, you feed UIWebView with preprocessed html, so that it's not aware that this is protected content. Both techniques have limitations, and it's hard to say whether a web application as complex as OWA can properly work (in fact, it would be nice if you could report back your findings).

Note that ASIWebPageRequest is part of ASIHTTPRequest, a project that - as of this writing - has been abandoned. I am including it because both approaches are very interesting and worth studying.
