Question

I have been using ASIHTTPRequest for an application but it gives me error in topSecretFetchFailed method 5 out of 10 request, Not sure how to deal with it, Isn’t ASIHTTPRequest stable enough?

[request setDidFailSelector:@selector(topSecretFetchFailed:)]; 

EDIT:

This is my code or method which get called in each request. MARKET_INDEXES_URL its static string which has “someurl.com”;

- (void)requestData { 
   ASIHTTPRequest *req = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:[NSURLURLWithString:MARKET_INDEXES_URL]];
   [req setDelegate:self]; 
   [req setDidFailSelector:@selector(topSecretFetchFailed:)]; 
   [req setDidFinishSelector:@selector(topSecretFetchComplete:)]; 
   [self setRequest:req]; 
   [self.request startAsynchronous]; 
}

and this is the fail handler

- (void)topSecretFetchFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)theRequest { 
   [[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:@"MarketIndexesError" object:nil]; 
   UIAlertView *view = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:@"Warning !" message:@"Connection error, Please try again" delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:@"OK" otherButtonTitles:nil];   
  [view show]; 
  [view release]; 
  NSLog(@"MarketIndex service Fail: %d %@", [theRequest responseStatusCode], [theRequest responseStatusMessage]); 
}

What you need is some reporting of the response details. Without that, you’re diagnosing in the dark. Put this in your failure handler:

NSLog(@"Fail: %d %@", [request responseStatusCode], [request responseStatusMessage]);
