.Background configuration type

[SalvatoreAD]

Hi, I'm trying to make POST requests in multipart in the background, but I get this error:

Completion handler blocks are not supported in background sessions. Use a delegate instead.

Can you give me an example to use background type request?

Thanks

Hi @SalvatoreAD,

For post request in the background, I would recommend you to use Alamofire. Networking is not well optimized for background uploads. I tried looking into it some time ago and figured is outside of its main purpose which is to provide a simple interface to GET, PUT, POST and DELETE requests.

Hi @3lvis I tried Alamofire, but I can not make a upload, while with this library I have succeeded. Can you explain how to use the ".background" configuration?

This is what I used as a guide when I tried to implement this feature. https://github.com/nevyn/URLSessionTest

The difficult part was to support resuming downloads.

[SalvatoreAD]

ok, How can I use this configuration in swift? Can you give me an example?

@SalvatoreAD We don't have support for background uploads in Networking, check this project for a reference on how to implement this. https://github.com/nevyn/URLSessionTest

Sorry for not being more helpful now.
