I already tried getting the current URL of my UIWebView with: webview.request.URL. Unfortunately the NSURL was empty. Anything wrong here? I am working with Xcode 3.2.2 beta 5.

The code above should be executed in the UIWebView delegate didStartLoad.

window.location via JS didn't work reliably for me, but this did:

currentURL = currentWebView.request.URL.absoluteString;
