Optimize loading of many images on iPad

I'm working on a project for the iPad where I'm trying to simulate the rotation of a 3D-body with touch by switching pre-rendered images.

How do you make an iOS app launch a captive portal (hotspot login)?

When using Safari at a place with a captive portal like Starbucks, iOS devices will launch a special modal webview to authenticate with the portal.

NSURLConnection redirected on iOS device, but not on simulator

When I make a request to a particular website, I get the XML response as desired on the simulator but I get a redirect page on the device.
