Question

I got some question is using ASIHTTPRequest to tracking Upload/Download progress

This is the sample from ASIHTTPRequest website

ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setDownloadProgressDelegate:myProgressIndicator];
[request startSynchronous];
NSLog(@"Max: %f, Value: %f", [myProgressIndicator maxValue],[myProgressIndicator doubleValue]

It says :myProgressIndicator is an NSProgressIndicator.

But it looks like Apple deprecated NSProgressIndicator

Check Here

So … how can I know the Upload/Download progress ???

Also another question is …if the Upload/Download was terminated before the task finish

How can I let the Upload/Download task continues start from the stop point(break point?) ?

Many thanks ~

As the documentation says, the delegate can also be an UIProgressView in case of iphone/ipad:

Each ASIHTTPRequest has two delegates
that can be used for tracking progress
– downloadProgressDelegate (for downloads) and uploadProgressDelegate
(for uploads).

Progress delegates can be
NSProgressIndicators (Mac OS X) or
UIProgressViews (iPhone).
ASIHTTPRequest will automatically
cater for the differences in the
behaviour of these two classes. If you
want, you can also use a custom class
as a progress delegate, as long as it
responds to setProgress:.

• If you are performing a single
  request, you set an upload and/or
  download progress delegate on that
  request
• If you are performing multiple
  requests in a queue, and you want to
  track overall progress for all
  requests in the queue, use a
  ASINetworkQueue and set the progress
  delegate of the queue
• If you want to
  do both of these at the same time,
  this is possible too (as of v0.97)
