Conforms to AFURLResponseSerialization
Declared in AFURLResponseSerialization.h
AFURLResponseSerialization.m

Overview

AFHTTPResponseSerializer conforms to the AFURLRequestSerialization & AFURLResponseSerialization protocols, offering a concrete base implementation of query string / URL form-encoded parameter serialization and default request headers, as well as response status code and content type validation.

Any request or response serializer dealing with HTTP is encouraged to subclass AFHTTPResponseSerializer in order to ensure consistent default behavior.

Other Methods

Properties

acceptableContentTypes

The acceptable MIME types for responses. When non-nil, responses with a Content-Type with MIME types that do not intersect with the set will result in an error during validation.

Declared In

AFURLResponseSerialization.h

acceptableStatusCodes

The acceptable HTTP status codes for responses. When non-nil, responses with status codes not contained by the set will result in an error during validation.
