Features

• CFNetwork Wrappers - Provides an object-oriented Objective-C wrapper for the low-level Apple CFNetwork framework.
• Objective-C Networking Libraries - Provides an object-oriented Objective-C networking library wrapper for CFNetwork on macOS and iOS.
• Disk-Backed Streaming - Implements disk-backed streaming to reduce memory footprint during large file uploads and downloads.
• Streaming Transfers - Transfers large files as streams to prevent loading entire payloads into memory.
• Byte-Range Requesting - Utilizes HTTP range headers to fetch specific segments of a file for transfer resumption.
• HTTP Request Execution - Provides a simplified interface for executing synchronous and asynchronous HTTP GET and POST operations.
• Native Networking Wrappers - Wraps low-level CFNetwork system frameworks to provide optimized HTTP operations.
• Reliable Large File Transfer Tools - Manages the movement of data between memory and storage with progress tracking for reliable delivery.
• Resumable Downloads - Supports resuming interrupted file downloads using HTTP range requests and byte-offset tracking.
• Resumable File Transfers - Handles interrupted file transfers by resuming from a specific byte offset.
• Client-Side Credential Managers - Provides a client-side credential manager that integrates with the system keychain for secure token and certificate storage.
• Cookie Management - Automatically manages the storage and injection of session tokens and cookies during server communication.
• macOS Keychain Credential Stores - Securely stores authentication credentials within the native macOS keychain.
• Stateful Session Persistence - Maintains a consistent web session through the combined tracking of cookies and custom HTTP headers.
• Session Cookie Tracking - Maintains session state by automatically tracking and updating cookies and custom HTTP headers.
• Session Management Frameworks - Provides a comprehensive framework for maintaining HTTP session state through automated cookie and header management.
• HTTP Cookie Managers - Automates the lifecycle of HTTP cookies to maintain persistent session state across requests.
• HTTP Request Body Streaming - Transfers large request bodies directly from disk to the server to minimize memory consumption.
• Large File Transfers - Supports the upload and download of large files using multipart streams and resumable mechanisms.
• Offline Caching - Stores server responses and webpages locally to enable content access without an active network connection.
• Webpage Content Caching - Enables the acquisition and local storage of complete webpages for reliable offline viewing.
• Multipart Form Uploads - Provides multipart/form-data encoding for sending files and text fields to web servers.
• Offline Content Caching - Stores server responses and webpages on disk to enable content access without an active network connection.
• Persistent HTTP Connections - Maintains long-lived TCP connections to eliminate handshake overhead across multiple HTTP requests.
• Webpage Downloader - Fetches entire webpages and associated assets to preserve visual layout for offline viewing.
• Secure HTTP Authentication - Implements secure HTTP authentication using combined basic credentials and client certificates.
• Request Authentications - Manages Basic, Digest, and NTLM authentication schemes by reusing credentials across network sessions.
• Client Certificate Managers - Establishes secure server connections by managing and presenting client-side security certificates.
• Background Network Requests - Allows network connections and data transfers to continue even when the application is not in focus.
• Response Caching - Caches server responses locally to facilitate offline access and reduce upstream network load.
• Networking - CFNetwork wrapper for HTTP requests.
• Networking Libraries - HTTP networking library for iOS and Mac.
