UIWebView's loadHTMLString method doesn't work well with online javascript?

Question

I use loadHTMLString method to load a HTML string.

self.webview.loadHTMLString("the html", baseURL:nil)

the html's content like below:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="http://cdn.bootcss.com/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js">
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
    $("p").click(function(){
        $(this).hide();
    });
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<p> Tap me to hide</p>
</body>
</html>

The result didn't work well. The javascript code didn't execute. But when I change <script src="http://cdn.bootcss.com/jquery/2.1.4/jquery.js"> to a local one and give a proper baseURL, it will work well.

Could this be because you are using an http URL to fetch your remote JavaScript? By default, iOS 9 does not do remote http (has to be https). — matt

Yes, it's about https. But I test on an iOS 8.4 device, it require https too. — leavez

As @matt mentioned, it's about https.

Remote JavaScript must be a https one. when I change the script to "https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.3/jquery.min.js", it worked.

I test it on iOS 9/8.4, UIWebView / WKWebView, they all require https.
