1 | +ASIHTTPRequest is an easy to use wrapper around the CFNetwork API that makes some of the more tedious aspects of communicating with web servers easier. It is written in Objective-C and works in both Mac OS X and iPhone applications. | ||
2 | + | ||
3 | +It is suitable performing basic HTTP requests and interacting with REST-based services (GET / POST / PUT / DELETE). The included ASIFormDataRequest subclass makes it easy to submit POST data and files using multipart/form-data. | ||

5 | +It provides: | ||
6 | +* A straightforward interface for submitting data to and fetching data from webservers | ||
7 | +* Download data to memory or directly to a file on disk(i) | ||
8 | +* The ability to submit files on local drives as part of POST data, compatible with the HTML file input mechanism | ||
9 | +* Easy access to request and response HTTP headers | ||
10 | +* Ability for setting up progress delegates (NSProgressIndicators and UIProgressViews) to show information about download AND upload progress | ||
11 | +* Auto-magic management of upload and download progress indicators for operation queues | ||
12 | +* Basic authentication (username and password) support, credentials are automatically for the duration of a session, and can be stored for later in the Keychain. | ||
13 | +* Cookie support | ||
14 | +* Based on NSOperation to make queuing requests and background operation easy | ||
15 | +* Basic unit tests (more to come!) | ||
