Don’t use a custom object. There should be a WebView item in the Interface

WebView is in the WebKit framework. To tell the compiler to look in that
framework, you need to add
@import WebKit
or
#import <WebKit/WebKit.h>

Have you read the WebKit Programming Guide? The “Simple Browsing” section shows
exactly how to do that. (It looks like your line is correct.)

There’s not really a clear distinction. WebKit just fetches resources over
HTTP, and depending on the resource’s attributes like Content-Type and
Content-Disposition it will treat it differently. I don’t think WebView by
itself will download anything to disk; IIRC you have to hook up some delegates
to do that.
