ROSuperHTTPAsyncRequest

Overview

This class is the ROAsyncRequest descendant describing in Asynchronous Requests context. It adds no new user visible features to the superclass but internally reflects the specifics of the SuperHTTP channel. As a rule, any ROAsyncRequest descendant objects should not be instantiated directly in the users' code, they are returned by asynchronous proxies begin* methods.

Location


 

backgroundTasksEnabled    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Returns YES if OS supports background tasks, NO othervise.

+ (BOOL) backgroundTasksEnabled

cancel    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Aborts the currently running request.

Note: because the status of the current request may be indeterminate and the request may already have been dispatched and executed on the server, sending this message is no guarantee that the requested action will not be performed. Depending on the underlying communication channel, it might also not be possible to skip retrieval of a (possibly large) response message. Sending the cancel message merely indicates that the caller is no longer interested in this request being completed.

- (void) cancel

canceled    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Boolean property shows was asynchonous request canceled or not.

@property (readonly) BOOL canceled

setMessage:    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

- (void) setMessage:(ROMessage *)message

Parameters:

start    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Starts the request, if it is not already running. While the request itself will be executed in the background, the current thread will be considered the request's context and any callbacks to the delegate will happen on the thread that sent the start message.

If start is sent to a request that is already running, then ROAsyncRequestActiveException will be thrown.

- (void) start

startInBackground    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Starts the request, if it is not already running. The request itself will be executed in the background, regardless how it was started. However, any callbacks to the delegate will happen on a background thread and not the thread that started the request. The identity of this background thread is undefined and may depend on the underlying communication structure.

If startInBackground is sent to a request that is already running, a ROAsyncRequestActiveException will be thrown.

- (void) startInBackground

startInBackgroundWithBlock:    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Starts the request with given completion block. The request itself will be executed in the background, regardless how it was started. However, any callbacks to the delegate and the completion block itself will happen on a background thread and not the thread that started the request.

The identity of this background thread is undefined and may depend on the underlying communication structure.

If startInBackground is sent to a request that is already running, an ROAsyncRequestActiveException will be thrown.

- (void) startInBackgroundWithBlock:(void(^)(ROAsyncRequest *))block

Parameters:

  • block: Completion block. Will be executed in the caller (background) thread.

startOnDispatchQueue:    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

This method is not implemented yet. Calling it will raise an exception.

- (void) startOnDispatchQueue:(dispatch_queue_t)queue

Parameters:

  • queue:

Starts the request with instruction to execute any callbacks to the delegate in the the main UI thread, regardless from what thread given request was started.

- (void) startOnMainThread

startOnMainThreadWithBlock:    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Starts the request with given completion block with instruction to execute this block, as well any callbacks to the delegate in the the main UI thread, regardless from what thread given request was started

- (void) startOnMainThreadWithBlock:(void(^)(ROAsyncRequest *))block

Parameters:

  • block: Completion block. Will be called after async request ends

startWithBlock:    (declared in ROAsyncRequest)

Starts the request whith given completion block. While the request itself will be executed in the background, the current thread will be considered the request's context and any callbacks to the delegate will happen on the thread that sent the start message.

If we apply this method to already running request, then ROAsyncRequestActiveException will be thrown.

- (void) startWithBlock:(void(^)(ROAsyncRequest *))block

Parameters:

  • block: Completion block. Will be called after async request ends
