Question

I’m using AFNetworking for my iOs app.
I need to implement a search-suggest like in many other apps or search bars on websites.
So basically launch GET requests but cancelling old ones as users tap new chars.
How can I do that? I have an AFHTTPClient subclass and I’am using getPath.
The best would be to have this requests be cancellable and “prioritized” to any other HTTP request on my singleton AFHTTPClient subclass.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Just use this method in your AFHTTPClient

- (void)cancelHTTPOperationsWithMethod:(NSString *)method andURL:(NSURL *)url

Sample if you’ve a singleton on a AFHTTPClient subclasse:

[[MHHTTPClient sharedHTTPClient] cancelHTTPOperationsWithMethod:@"GET" andURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mysite.com/autocomplete.json?search=tes"]];
