AFNetworking 500 response body

Question

I\'ve been using AFNetworking 2.0 in my app. I\'ve noticed that if my web-service returns a 500 status code I do not get the body of the response.

Here is an example

If you include my category in your project, it's as simple as the following:

[mySessionManager POST:@"some-api" parameters:params success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSDictionary *responseObject) {
    ...
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
    id responseObject = error.userInfo[kErrorResponseObjectKey];
    ... do something with the response ...
}];

Here's the code for my category. It swizzles AFURLSessionManager to inject a shim into the completion handler. The shim puts the response into the NSError's userInfo.
