ajax - phonegap: cookie based authentication (PHP) not working [webview]

Question

I'm working on a mobile web-app using sencha touch, HTML5 and phonegap as a wrapper.

I'm using PHP-Authentication (Cookie) and ajax-requests. Everything works fine on safari or chrome, but after the deployment with phonegap (webview) it does't work anymore...

Any help would be appreciated :)

Some more details:

All data for my app is loaded via ajax requests to my server component "mobile.php". I use basic PHP-Auth to autenticate the user:

1. AJAX-Request [username, password] -> mobile.php -> Session established (cookie)
2. All other requests if auth was successful

What's the difference between a normal safari website and the webview?

i figured it out:

you have to change the phonegap_delegate.m file and add the following to the init method:

- (id) init
{   
    /** If you need to do any extra app-specific initialization, you can do it here
     *  -jm
     **/
    //special setting to accept cookies via ajax-request
    NSHTTPCookieStorage *cookieStorage = [NSHTTPCookieStorage 
                                          sharedHTTPCookieStorage]; 
    [cookieStorage setCookieAcceptPolicy:NSHTTPCookieAcceptPolicyAlways]; 

    return [super init];
}

it enables webview to accept cookies from ajax requests
