Question

I’m using the AFNetworking framework to download files and write them to the local file system.

But since the files can be quite big I want to add a UIProgressView, but I can’t seem to find any method that gets updated with the progress.

I see people talking about setProgressBlock, but I can’t find any information about this in the docs: http://afnetworking.org/Documentation/Classes/AFHTTPRequestOperation.html

Is there a method that does this? I’m just using AFHTTPRequestOperation to download the files.

Answer 1

The setDownloadProgressBlock method is part of AFURLConnectionOperation, from which AFHTTPRequestOperation inherits – that’s why you don’t see it in the AFHTTPRequestOperation documentation. The documentation you’re after is here:
