Answer 1

NSURLConnectionDownloadDelegate only works for Newstand apps so far. Please file a bug.

Answer 2

– (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData*)data

Above method is used to receive the data which we get using post method.

– (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error

This method , you can use to receive the error report in case of connection is not made to server.

– (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection

The above method is used to process the data after connection has made successfully.

Answer 3

iIf NSURLConnectionDownloadDelegate methods present in you class, NSURLConnectionDataDelegate will not be called. Watch out! – jAckOdE Thanks to a comment in Erik Aigner's answer below.

Basically... The NSURLConnectionDownloadDelegate overrides NSURLConnectionDataDelegate. Beware!!! :)

Answer 4

You could try to use NSURLConnectionDataDelegate instead. It won't show up in the docs, but it's actually there (use Open Quickly to find it Cmd+Shift+O).

There you could use following methods

1. - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data
2. - (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
