DidReceiveAuthenticationChallenge for NSURLConnection's SynchronousRequest - ios

Question

I am using NSURLConnection's sendSynchronousRequest to communicate with server. I wanted to handle authentication which can be achieved using connection delegates but delegates are not called for a synchronous request.
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:UrlRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
if(!error)
{
// Do something
}
else
{
// Handle error
}
});
However i thought of sending all the request asynchronously using
[NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:menuRequest delegate:self];
But i have multiple connection in the same class and each connection's success and error are used to perform different task.If i use async request error and success are heard by delegates which are same for all the request in that class, i cannot find out which request failed and which request succeeded. I have two question
If there is a way to implement https for synchronous request.
How to find which connection failed or succeeded among multiple connections in the same class for asynchronous request.

You can achieve this in different ways.
You can put creds in url like https://username:password#domain.tld/api/user.json
You can add add you creds to NSURLCredentialStorage before synchronous connection call.
You can use code below to achieve.
- (NSData *)sendSynchronousRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request returningResponse:(NSURLResponse *__strong*)response error:(NSError *__strong*)error
{
_finishedLoading=NO;
_receivedData=[NSMutableData new];
_error=error;
_response=response;
NSURLConnection*con=[NSURLConnection initWithRequest:request
delegate:self
startImmediately:NO];
[con start];
return _receivedData;
}
- (BOOL)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection canAuthenticateAgainstProtectionSpace:(NSURLProtectionSpace *)protectionSpace {
return [protectionSpace.authenticationMethod isEqualToString:NSURLAuthenticationMethodServerTrust];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge
{
//handle the challenge
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
*_response=response;
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
{
[_receivedData appendData:data];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
{
*_error=error;
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
}
