I want to load a word document using UIWebView. I used the code provided in http://developer.apple.com/iphone/library/qa/qa2008/qa1630.html to load the document.

But not all the documents load successfully. Sometimes I get an error 

Error Domain=WebKitErrorDomain Code=102 UserInfo=0x145bc10 "Frame load interrupted"

The error seems to be very sporadic and I get this error only for some documents. However the same document loads correctly in mail.app.

What am I missing?

The reason was, the file I tried to load doesn't contain a extension. I was purposely removing the file extension (.doc and .ppt) which I think confused the UIWebView. Seems like iPhone ignores the OS 9 legacy typecodes completely. :)

I submitted a Radar regarding this issue. It's resolved in the latest version of iPhone OS 4.0.

  • I guess a new Radar needs to be filled out, because this issue crops up when you have a different extension than one it is expecting, even in iOS 4. I would expect that UIWebView would actually read the header of the file or something to determine what it is if it cannot determine its file type by extension.
