Conditional stub responses

[enrigalmig]

Hey Olivier

I'm trying to use the request in the responseRequests: method to do some conditional stubs in order to create the OHHTTPStubsResponse, I'm trying to get the parameters from a POST request that is generated with AFNetworking 2 but the httpbody is nil...

This is the right way to create conditional responses?

Hello,

This is probably a duplicate of #52. The HTTPBody of requests passed to NSURLProtocols are known to be inaccessible (probably already turned into HTTPBodyStream objects by Apple internally).

So I believe the issue you are experimenting is not related to OHHTTPStubs but to how Apple's NSURLProtocol and NSURLSession works. This leads to NSURLProtocol's +canInitWithRequest: method to be called with a request with an empty HTTPBody, because HTTPBody and HTTPBodyStream properties are handled internally and specifically by Apple for the HTTP protocol (for the specific internal NSURLProtocol originally managing the "http://" scheme by Apple). This seems to be supported by various StackOverflow answers like url=http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9301611/using-a-custom-nsurlprotocol-with-uiwebview-and-post-requests.

PS : As suggested by @lukabernardi in the other post, I encourage you fill a bugreport to Apple by duplicating the radar issue http://openradar.appspot.com/15993891

Thanks @AliSoftware

FYI, I just wrote a short wiki article to suggest a nice workaround — using [NSURLProtocol setProperty:forKey:inRequest:] and [NSURLProtocol propertyForKey:inRequest:] and how to implement it for use with AFNetworking 2.0.
