asihttprequest

I am using currently ASIHTTPRequest for communicating with the server, however it's causing crashes. The bug is known for a long time, but is still an issue. Therefore: Are there good alternatives to ASIHTTPRequest? I am flexible on the server side, i could also use sockets or using something else. What would you recommenend for server client communication? Here is the link to the topic where the author is giving some ASIHTTPRequest alternatives . List of them with links from topic: AFNetworking LRResty RestKit AWS SDK for iOS ShareKit NSURLRequest/NSURLConnection I know it's probably not the

I've checked for other questions relevant to this, but the only answer is "Use ASIHTTPRequest " as this is no longer being developed I wanted to ask what alternatives people are using, whilst working on our SDK I came across a lot of strange behaviour in NSURLConnection when receiving data from the server. We tracked it down to the fact that NSURLConnection doesn't deal well with responses in chunked-encoding. Or at least so we read in this question here NSURLConnection and "chunked" transfer-coding Some developers we were talking to say it gets better in iOS 5, we need to make sure that our

I have to upload an image to server for which I wrote code using NSMutableURLRequest like this NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"]; NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",boundary]; [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"]; // // /* // now lets create the body of the post // */ NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data]; [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; [body appendData:

I got an app which use ASIHTTPRequest . I recompiled my app with iOS 5 (sdk : 5.0 / xcode: 4.2 Build 4D199 ) and the https connections fail with error message (the same call with https disabled works fine): Error Domain=ASIHTTPRequestErrorDomain Code=1 "A connection failure occurred" UserInfo=0xa8e66e0 {NSUnderlyingError=0xa8ac6c0 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9844.)", NSLocalizedDescription=A connection failure occurred} With debug log enabled: [STATUS] Starting asynchronous request <ASIFormDataRequest: 0xd96fc00> [CONNECTION] Request <ASIFormDataRequest: 0xd96fc00>

So i've run into quite a problem. It seems that ASIHTTPRequest just does not want to work in a production build. Everything works great in debug. However, once I build for production the following code just doesn't want to run. It doesn't hit either block complete nor failed. I have also tried using selectors, with a delegate but those do not get called either. __block __weak ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:URL]; [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(startSpinner) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO]; [request setCompletionBlock:^{ [self performSelectorOnMainThread:

I'm trying to load some images in table cells asynchronously using ASINetworkQueue . I just can't figure it out and can't seem to find a good SIMPLE example. The best I can find is this, but its just totally overkill and a little too complicated for me: http://kosmaczewski.net/2009/03/08/asynchronous-loading-of-images-in-a-uitableview/ Does anyone else have any tips/solutions/code for doing this with the ASIHTTPRequest library? Here's a class derived from UIImageView which I use, perhaps this will help you. (Actually I've simplified this a fair bit from what I use, but that was what you asked

Does ASIHTTPRequest support HTTPS connections? My connection right now works for a HTTP connection and errors if I try a HTTPS Connection. (Goes into requestFailed and gives me a ASIHTTPErrorRequestDomain) -(void) getData { av.hidden = NO; [av startAnimating]; NSString *urlString = [IP stringByAppendingString:@"Method1"]; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString]; ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url]; NSLog(@"URL = %@",url); [request setRequestMethod:@"POST"]; [request setPostValue:@"val1" forKey:@"key1"]; [request setPostValue:@"val2" forKey:@"key2"];

I am about to develop an application for iPad and it has enormous amount of background thread network calls. I would like to know which one will be better? ASIHTTPRequest still works but not maintained. However few sources says AFNetworking framework creates lots of complications. Update (September 2013) It's been nearly two years since I originally wrote this answer, and quite a lot has changed. AFNetworking is about to go into version 2.0 and has a thriving developer community, whereas ASIHTTPRequest is pretty much dead. Additionally, AFNetworking has dozens of great helper libraries and
