I am using NSURLSessionDownloadTask to pull down a simple text file from my goDaddy server using the following code:
-(void)getTheInternetFile
//Fire up the downloadTask to pull the file down from my web server.
NSURLSessionDownloadTask *getTheFile = [session downloadTaskWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.myserver.com/utility/file.txt"]]
completionHandler:^(NSURL *location, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error)
{
if(error)
{
NSLog(@"Can't do what I want as we have an error %@", [error localizedDescription]);
}
else
{
NSLog(@"It worked");
}
}];
[getTheInternetFile resume];
}
The problem I am having is that this works really well...sometimes. Other times I get an error message that states: "A server with the specified hostname could not be found".
As the URL is hard coded and never changes, I am at a loss to how this can even happen. Unless goDaddy is letting me down, and the server has all of a sudden become unavailable part of the time, I am at a loss. For what it's worth this just started acting this way today, so maybe it is goDaddy.
