HLRequest provides an easy-to-use way of sending requests and handling returned data, with either delegate or completion handler.
If your project doesn't use ARC: you must add the -fobjc-arc compiler flag to HLRequest.m in Target Settings > Build Phases > Compile Sources.
- Drag the
./HLRequestfolder into your project. - Import
HLRequest.hin your view controller.
If you feel easy with Git, create a submodule into own project.
In HLRequest.h, add your own request types to HLRequestType enum and handle these cases in executeRequest().
Create a new instance of HLRequest and set requestType and method (GET, POST, etc.) properties. You can then choose to use delegate or completion handler with these methods.
- (void)executeRequestWithDelegate:(id<HLRequestDelegate>)requestDelegate;
//HLRequestDelegate
- (void)requestDidReturnData :(id)data withInitialRequest :(HLRequest *)request;
- (void)requestConnectionDidFailWithError :(NSError *)error andInitialRequest :(HLRequest *)request;
- (void)executeRequestWithCompletion :(HLRequestCompletionHandler)completionHandler;
//With completionHandler type
typedef void (^HLRequestCompletionHandler)(NSData *data, NSError *error);
Simply use cancel() method on your HLRequest instance.
[myRequest cancel];
Default is, GET parameters are appended to the request URL, and POST parameters are Json-encoded and enclosed in the request body.
You can add HTTP header fields or change POST parameters formatting directly into executeRequest() method, in HLRequest.m.
You may also change kBaseURL value in the init() method according to your own server.
