BWSMixedReplaceHTTPRequestOperation

BWSMixedReplaceHTTPRequestOperation is an AFHTTPRequestOperation subclass for handling multipart/x-mixed-replace, for use with AFNetworking Cocoa projects. This is useful for streaming data from web servers, like IP cameras or biometric sensors.

How To Use

1. Add BWSMixedReplaceHTTPRequestOperation.[hm] into your Xcode project that is already set up to use AFNetworking.
2. Call mixedReplaceOperationWithRequest:replacementReceived:success:failure, where replacementReceived a block executed with the last complete chunk of data received.
   • Note that it is the caller's responsibility to ensure that the data provided is well-formed. In cases where large data chunks is being streamed extremely rapidly, iOS could truncate a chunk to keep up.

How To Test

1. Clone the Multipart-Streaming-HTTP-Server submodule.
2. Run server.rb
   • This will create a server running on port 8080 on your local machine that streams the current date and time for 10 seconds.
