Question

I am using ASIHTTPRequest to send request to web server. It all works fine. But now, when i call the grabURLInBackground method, a request is sent to the given URL.

But now, i need to cancel the request (as in stop sending, and stop downloading the content from the URL), in the viewWillDissapear method. How can i do this ? Help

- (IBAction)grabURLInBackground:(id)sender
{
   NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://allseeing-i.com"];
   ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
   [request setDelegate:self];
   [request startAsynchronous];
}

- (void)requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
   // Use when fetching text data
   NSString *responseString = [request responseString];

   // Use when fetching binary data
   NSData *responseData = [request responseData];
}

- (void)requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
   NSError *error = [request error];
}

Answer 1

for (ASIHTTPRequest *req in ASIHTTPRequest.sharedQueue.operations)
{
    [req cancel];
    [req setDelegate:nil];
}

this should cancel it..
