  • How you accessed ' ASIHTTPRequest ' ? – Vineesh TP Aug 10 '12 at 04:31
  • ASIHTTPRequest is [now deprecated](http://allseeing-i.com/%5Brequest_release%5D;). You might want to look at the [FSNetworking](http://engineering.foursquare.com/2012/07/19/say-hello-to-fsnetworking-a-small-networking-library-for-ios-and-mac/) library that Foursquare released as a possible alternative. – Dan J Sep 11 '12 at 20:31
  • Some of these questions are answer in the wiki for the ASIHTTPRequest tag: http://stackoverflow.com/tags/asihttprequest/info – JosephH Mar 09 '11 at 09:12

What is ASIHTTPRequest?

ASIHTTPRequest is an easy to use wrapper around the CFNetwork API that makes some of the more tedious aspects of communicating with web servers easier. It is written in Objective-C and works in both Mac OS X and iPhone applications.

A (BSD licensed) wrapper to facilitate the use of CFNetwork. Commonly, it is used to deal with HTTP requests.

The documentation explains how to use it. As ASIHTTPRequest is not an Apple product, Apple doesn't provide files for this.

This is what the ASIHTTPRequest documentation page says.

It is suitable performing basic HTTP requests and interacting with REST-based services (GET / POST / PUT / DELETE). The included ASIFormDataRequest subclass makes it easy to submit POST data and files using multipart/form-data.

Also, ASIHTTPRequest page says Please note that I am no longer working on this library - you may want to consider using something else for new projects. :)

RestKit might be an alternative.
