UIWebView: some images not loading

Question

Good day.

I have a UIWebView that loads a big article with 10+ images. HTML code is stored locally, images are loaded by UIWebView automatically.

Sometimes web view won't load all of the images (for example, 3 out of 10). It doesn't depend on a connection type (EDGE/WiFI), image amount (sometimes web view loads 20 out of 20 images, sometimes doesn't load 3 out of 5).

As for now the only way to fix this as I understand is parsing <img> tags in HTML and loading images programmatically to a local cache for future displaying.

Any thoughts? Is there any way to control UIWebView's image loading?

Thank you.

Does that happen with both iOS4 and iOS5? Do you have a webserver where you can check the apache logfiles to see if the requests were made at all? — ott--, Nov 21 '11 at 21:08
Yes, it happens on both systems. I'll try to check logs, thank you for a tip. — Misha Karpenko, Nov 22 '11 at 09:44

I've recently had the same issue on another project: some images were displaying as half black only on slow connections like GPRS/EDGE. The reason was that my client's web server had a limit for connection time when downloading images. If you've run into similar issue don't forget to check that.

Do you find the solution to overcome this issue ? Any ideas would be very much helpful. Thanks – Firnaz Sep 12 '19 at 06:15
You mean the limit for the connection time? If I recall correctly, it was a matter of increasing the according configuration option on the web server. – Misha Karpenko Sep 13 '19 at 07:36
Got it. Thanks for the reply – Firnaz Sep 16 '19 at 07:40
