  1. POiOS NSURLConnection not downloading files from certain URLs
    text
    copied!<p>I have an <code>NSURLConnection</code> in a tableview cell subclass that can download most files. I noticed, however, that some fail to start downloading, and time out. An example would be <a href="http://download.thinkbroadband.com/10MB.zip">this</a> URL, which is just a test zip file that downloads fine in any other browser. Heres my code for the download</p> <pre><code>-(void)downloadFileAtURL:(NSURL *)url{ self.downloadedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init]; self.url = url; conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:self.url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:1200.0] delegate:self startImmediately:YES]; } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection*)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSHTTPURLResponse*)response { int statusCode = [response statusCode]; if (statusCode == 200){ self.fileName.text = response.URL.lastPathComponent; self.respo = response; expectedLength = [response expectedContentLength]; } } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{ [self.downloadedData appendData:data]; } - (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection{ CFStringRef mimeType = (__bridge CFStringRef)[_respo MIMEType]; CFStringRef uti = UTTypeCreatePreferredIdentifierForTag(kUTTagClassMIMEType, mimeType, NULL); CFStringRef extension = UTTypeCopyPreferredTagWithClass(uti, kUTTagClassFilenameExtension); NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@.%@", [[_respo suggestedFilename] stringByDeletingPathExtension], (__bridge NSString *)extension]; [[NSFileManager defaultManager] createFileAtPath:[[self docsDir] stringByAppendingPathComponent:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Downloads/%@", fileName]] contents:_downloadedData attributes:nil]; } - (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error{ NSLog(@"Download failed with error: %@", error); } </code></pre> <p>Anybody see anything that might cause this?</p> <p>Heres the error:</p> <pre><code>Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1001 "The request timed out." UserInfo=0x1fd2c650 {NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=http://download.thinkbroadband.com/10MB.zip, NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://download.thinkbroadband.com/10MB.zip, NSLocalizedDescription=The request timed out., NSUnderlyingError=0x1fdc90b0 "The request timed out."} </code></pre>
