###Why MKNetworkKit?
MKNetworkKit is inspired by the other two popular network frameworks ASIHTTPRequest and AFNetworking. Mostly ASI, to some extent, AFNetworking. I've been an unofficial "evangelist" of ASIHTTPRequest till the plug was pulled.
Marrying the feature set from both, MKNetworkKit throws in a bunch of new features like
- Single queue for the whole app
- Auto queue sizing
- Auto caching and restoring
- Performs exactly one operation for similar requests
- Background completion
- Full ARC support
- cURL-able debug lines.
###How to use Read the blog post for more.
###TODO
- Method to freeze blocks (alternative techniques probably)
- Obey cache-expires HTTP headers
- Mac compatibility and XML support (NSXMLDocument)
- UserAgent String (Don't advertise MKNetworkKit, this should be app name)
- Multiple encoding types in URL
- Read about response redirects and implement delegate callbacks or use state variables
- Integrate the ARC version of Reachability from https://gist.github.com/1182373
- The generate header docs looks EXTREMELY UGLY FUGLY
I'll be working on this soon. But you can start forking it and getting it right
###Known Issues
- Frozen operations don't report progress/completion handlers back to the calling code.
