ASIHTTPRequest

ASIHTTPRequest is a super handy open-source tool that acts as a wrapper around the CFNetwork API. Basically, it makes talking to web servers way easier, especially when you’re dealing with those boring bits.

Easy to Use on Mac and iPhone

This nifty library is written in Objective-C, which means it works well on both Mac OS X and iPhone apps. So if you're into Apple development, this could be your new best friend!

Perfect for Basic HTTP Requests

ASIHTTPRequest is perfect for handling basic HTTP requests and working with RESTful services like GET, POST, PUT, and DELETE. Plus, there's an extra feature called ASIFormDataRequest, which simplifies submitting POST data and files using multipart/form-data.

A Ton of Features

This software comes packed with features that make life easier:

• A simple way to send data to web servers and grab data back.


• You can download data either into memory or directly onto your disk.


• It lets you submit local files as part of the POST data—just like how HTML file inputs work!


• You can stream request bodies straight from your disk to the server to save memory.


• If your download gets interrupted, no worries! It can resume partial downloads.


• Easily access request and response headers.


• Progress indicators help you keep track of how uploads and downloads are doing.


• Keeps track of authentication details automatically during a session using Keychain support.


• Cakewalk cookie support for easy management.


• If you're worried about size—GZIP support helps reduce response data size!


• [NEW] Experimental features for Amazon S3 users!


• [NEW] Works with manual or auto-detected proxies too!

Simplified Background Operations

This library uses NSOperation under the hood. That means queuing requests and doing background tasks becomes a breeze! And it’s got tons of unit tests included so you know it’s reliable.
