ASIHTTPRequest update: Cookies and Timeouts
ASIHTTPRequest now has cookie support, which should help people wanting to talk to servers that manage authentication with a session cookie. I’d originally rolled by own cookie support, before realising that Apple had done all this work for me with NSHTTPCookie and NSHTTPCookieStorage (DOH!). Just in case it’s useful to someone for something else, there’s a PHP port of my cookie header parsing code here.
I’ve also added the ability to configure timeouts for when requests take too long. No idea why it took me so long to realise this would be useful.
