ASIHTTPRequest is an Objective-C wrapper around Apple's CFNetwork API that simplifies making HTTP requests on Mac OS X and iOS. It supports REST verbs, file uploads/downloads, progress tracking, authentication, cookies, GZIP, and response caching.
Use cases
- make HTTP requests from an iOS app in Objective-C
- upload files with multipart/form-data from iPhone
- download data to memory or disk with progress indicators
- perform basic, digest, or NTLM authenticated requests
- interact with REST APIs using GET/POST/PUT/DELETE
- cache HTTP responses for offline fallback
- gzip-compress request and response bodies
When to choose
- maintaining a legacy Objective-C Mac or iOS codebase that already uses ASIHTTPRequest
- you need a simple CFNetwork-based HTTP client and cannot use newer alternatives
When to avoid
- starting a new project - the author explicitly no longer maintains it
- modern Swift or iOS development - use NSURLSession or Alamofire instead
- you need ongoing bug fixes, security updates, or modern protocol support
