- Json serializer
- Multipart upload
- HTTP Basic/Digest authentication support
- Pluggable object serialization
- background processing support
In your Podfile add:
pod 'AeroGearHttp'and then:
pod installto install your dependencies
To perform an HTTP request use the convenient methods found in the Http object. Here is an example usage:
let http = Http(baseURL: "http://server.com")
http.request(method: .get, path: "/get", completionHandler: {(response, error) in
// handle response
})
http.request(method: .post, path: "/post", parameters: ["key": "value"],
completionHandler: {(response, error) in
// handle response
})
...The library also leverages the build-in foundation support for http/digest authentication and exposes a convenient interface by allowing the credential object to be passed on the request. Here is an example:
NOTE: It is advised that HTTPS should be used when performing authentication of this type
let credential = URLCredential(user: "john",
password: "pass",
persistence: .none)
http.request(method: .get, path: "/protected/endpoint", credential: credential,
completionHandler: {(response, error) in
// handle response
})You can also set a credential per protection space, so it's automatically picked up once http challenge is requested by the server, thus omitting the need to pass the credential on each request. In this case, you must initialize the Http object with a custom session configuration object, that has its credentials storage initialized with your credentials:
// create a protection space
let protectionSpace = URLProtectionSpace(host: "httpbin.org",
port: 443,
protocol: NSURLProtectionSpaceHTTP,
realm: "me@kennethreitz.com",
authenticationMethod: NSURLAuthenticationMethodHTTPDigest)
// setup credential
// notice that we use '.ForSession' type otherwise credential storage will discard and
// won't save it when doing 'credentialStorage.setDefaultCredential' later on
let credential = URLCredential(user: "user",
password: "password",
persistence: .forSession)
// assign it to credential storage
let credentialStorage = URLCredentialStorage.shared
credentialStorage.setDefaultCredential(credential, for: protectionSpace);
// set up default configuration and assign credential storage
let configuration = URLSessionConfiguration.default
configuration.urlCredentialStorage = credentialStorage
// assign custom configuration to Http
let http = Http(baseURL: "http://httpbin.org", sessionConfig: configuration)
http.request(method: .get, path: "/protected/endpoint", completionHandler: {(response, error) in
// handle response
})To support the OAuth2 protocol, we have created a separate library aerogear-ios-oauth2 that can be easily integrated, in order to provide out-of-the-box support for communicating with OAuth2 protected endpoints. Please have a look at the "Http and OAuth2Module" section on our documentation page for more information.
For more details about that please consult our documentation.
