Thin wrapper around NSURLSession in swift. Simplifies HTTP requests.
##Example
The most basic request. By default an NSData object will be returned for the response.
var request = HTTPTask()
request.GET("http://vluxe.io", parameters: nil, success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
if response.responseObject {
let data = response.responseObject as NSData
let str = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
println("response: \(str)") //prints the HTML of the page
}
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("error: \(error)")
})We can also add parameters as with standard container objects.
var request = HTTPTask()
request.GET("http://google.com", parameters: ["param": "param1", "array": ["first array element","second","third"], "num": 23], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("response: \(response.responseObject!)")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("error: \(error)")
})The HTTPResponse contains all the common HTTP response data, such as the responseObject of the data and the headers of the response.
A POST request is just as easy as a GET.
var request = HTTPTask()
request.POST("http://domain.com/create", parameters: ["param": "hi", "something": "else", "key": "value"], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
})PUT works the same as post. The example also include a file upload to do a multi form request.
let fileUrl = NSURL.fileURLWithPath("/Users/dalton/Desktop/file")
var request = HTTPTask()
request.PUT("http://domain.com/1", parameters: ["param": "hi", "something": "else", "key": "value","file": HTTPUpload(fileUrl: fileUrl)], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
})The HTTPUpload object is use to represent files on disk or in memory file as data.
DELETE works the same as the GET.
var request = HTTPTask()
request.DELETE("http://domain.com/1", parameters: nil, success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("DELETE was successful!")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("print the error: \(error)")
})HEAD works the same as the GET.
var request = HTTPTask()
request.HEAD("http://domain.com/image.png", parameters: nil, success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("The file does exist!")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("File not found: \(error)")

var request = HTTPTask()
request.baseURL = "http://api.someserver.com/1"
request.GET("/users", parameters: ["key": "value"], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("Got data from http://api.someserver.com/1/users")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("print the error: \(error)")
})
request.POST("/users", parameters: ["key": "updatedVale"], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("Got data from http://api.someserver.com/1/users")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("print the error: \(error)")
})
request.GET("/resources", parameters: ["key": "value"], success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
println("Got data from http://api.someserver.com/1/resources")
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("print the error: \(error)")
})Request parameters and request responses can also be serialized as needed. By default request are serialized using standard HTTP form encoding. A JSON request and response serializer are provided as well. It is also very simple to create custom serializer by subclass a request or response serializer
var request = HTTPTask()
//The parameters will be encoding as JSON data and sent.
request.requestSerializer = JSONRequestSerializer()
//The expected response will be JSON and be converted to an object return by NSJSONSerialization instead of a NSData.
request.responseSerializer = JSONResponseSerializer()
request.GET("http://vluxe.io", parameters: nil, success: {(response: HTTPResponse) -> Void in
if response.responseObject {
let dict = response.responseObject as Dictionary<String,AnyObject>
println("example of the JSON key: \(dict["key"])")
println("print the whole response: \(response)")
}
},failure: {(error: NSError) -> Void in
println("error: \(error)")
})SwiftHTTP requires at least iOS 7/OSX 10.9 or above.
