Question

I would like to customize ASIHTTPRequest to be more picky about when it fires requestFinished. In particular, I only want requestFinished to be called when the status code is 200. Other than that, for all other status codes, or network-level failures, I want a requestFailed. Is there a way to override the default functionality cleanly, or am I opening a can of worms by trying to modify ASIHTTPRequest? If there is a way to do it cleanly, where is it?

Answer 1

try add a piece of code here in ASIHTTPRequest.m

- (void)reportFinished
{
    if (self.responseStatusCode !=200){
    //this way, you can get error message you want in requestDidFailed:.
    return [self failWithError:[NSError errorWithDomain:@"Failed" code:ASIConnectionFailureErrorType userInfo:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:@"Failed to get connection",NSLocalizedDescriptionKey,nil]]];
    }

     ... 
     ... 
}
