I have a hard time to find any examples for NSURLConnection delegate method implemenetations. The SeismicXML example from apple is incomplete. For instance, they don't incorporate
-connection:willSendRequest:redirectResponse:
Maybe there's a good text out there. I went already through all the Apple material regarding this.
Here's an implementation I've been working with lately:
.h:
NSMutableData *responseData;
.m:
- (void)load {
NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@""];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:myURL
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData
timeoutInterval:60];
[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
responseData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {
[responseData appendData:data];
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
[responseData release];
[connection release];
[textView setString:@"Unable to fetch data"];
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
NSLog(@"Succeeded! Received %d bytes of data",[responseData
length]);
NSString *txt = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding] autorelease];
}
