Easy to use CFNetwork wrapper for HTTP requests, Objective-C, Mac OS X and iPhone

I've setup multiple ASIS3Request's and added them to a ASINetworkQueue. The S3 Requests have a download and temporary download path, resume download is allowed.

I've setup a UIProgressView as downloadProgressDelegate for the queue.

However it seems that the progress is not updated. I've debugged the methods:

• (void)incrementDownloadSizeBy:(unsigned long long)bytes and
• (void)incrementDownloadProgressBy:(unsigned long long)bytes in the ASINetworkQueue class and both times the "bytes" value passed to these methods is 0.

Any ideas how to solve this?

i'm using v1.8/latest 2ff7b0cded41f97c5076

just used ASIHTTPRequest (with blocks), did nothing special...

In order to distinguish between multiple queues it would be great if ASINetworkQueue gets a "userInfo" NSDictionary.

I've already added it to this gist source here: http://gist.github.com/215015

I was having trouble making ASICloudFilesCDNRequests, kept getting a generic "Unable to start HTTP connection" error.

I was able to track down the bug to the following section of code in ASICloudFilesRequest.m:

68  if (![request error]) {
69  NSDictionary *responseHeaders = [request responseHeaders];
70  authToken = [responseHeaders objectForKey:@"X-Auth-Token"];
71  storageURL = [responseHeaders objectForKey:@"X-Storage-Url"];
72  cdnManagementURL = [responseHeaders objectForKey:@"X-Cdn-Management-Url"];
73  }

Obtaining cdnManagementURL using the key "X-Cdn-Management-Url" returned (null) and was causing other problems later on down the line. Turns out the correct key uses a capitalized "CDN" like so:

"X-CDN-Management-Url"

Hi, Ben, great framework, thanks a lot.

I have a quick question, why is the default timeout only 10 seconds? The default for NSURLRequest is 60? I seem to get quite a few timeout errors when testing on an iPhone, is there any problem with just setting the default to 60?

Thanks, Dan

I'm having crashes when blocks retain elements and are released in own threads.

bool _WebTryThreadLock(bool), 0x7d7c3e0: Tried to obtain the web lock from a thread other than the main thread or the web thread. This may be a result of calling to UIKit from a secondary thread. Crashing now... (EXC_BAD_ACCESS)

If I run 'build and analyze' on a garbage-collection-enabled project using ASIHTTPRequest, I get 10 warnings with the message "Potential leak (when using garbage collection) of an object..." (in ASIFormDataRequest.m and ASIHTTPRequest.m). Could you look into this? (It seems it's mostly related to objects allocated using CoreFoundation functions and deallocated using autorelease.)

I don't have really good reproduce instructions for you on this one because it is so rare but it does happen. I use a standard NSOperationQueue to push all ASIHTTPRequests into and I push a lot of requests through it limited to 4 simulataneously.

Around line 717 of ASIHTTPRequest.m there are (rare) occasions when the readStream is NULL and the following line crashes the app:

[self setTotalBytesSent:[[(NSNumber *)CFReadStreamCopyProperty(readStream, kCFStreamPropertyHTTPRequestBytesWrittenCount) autorelease] unsignedLongLongValue]];

Hi,

I have a big problem. When i start my app, I do two requests. One is for login, so i send my username and password. My server responds fine (im logged in). And the second one is loading some data. The two requests are started at the same time. The problem is probably the response time. it seems like when the 'load data' request starts first and ends secondso it's like:

1. start 'load data'
2. start 'login'
3. finish 'login' - (it says im logged in successfully)
4. finish 'load data'

it seems like my app thinks i'm logged in, but i'm not. when i try to make a request and the server responds with $_SESSION['login'], it's empty ... when i don't make the 'load data' request, everything is okay ... when i do it after the 'login' request ends, it's okay, too. so it seems to be a problem only when i start the requests at the same time ....

I encountered the problem when my app was buggy. I started it up, and sometimes it worked, and sometimes not. I started to log the responses and saw that it somehow depends on the order of the requestsDidFinish for those two requests.

I can say it's 100% not bug on my server-side script as i'm using it also on other platforms this way, and don't have such problems.

Thanks for your response... and hope you solve it soon :)

The need to set a global user agent for an application can come up, and when there are multiple ASIHTTPRequests it gets cumbersome to have to manually set the User-Agent for each request:

[request addRequestHeader:@"User-Agent" value:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"CE API v%@", kCEAPIVersion]];

In the commit you'll see its now possible to set a global User-Agent which can still be overwritten on a per request basis. If this was merged, you'll be able to do the following instead:

[ASIHTTPRequest setUserAgent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"CE API v%@", kCEAPIVersion]];

We should introduce a newer, block based API for the finish/fail actions. I'd love to use that instead of those didFinishSelectors. (Works on OS3 too with PLBlocks)

Anyone has a fix for iOS16?

I have a project to use it as Network connection, but currently the app update is rejected by Apple because the IPV6-only reason, could you please help me to confirm that the ASIHTTPRequest can work correctly in IPV6-only network?
