Hello all,

I'm using NSURLConnection to download a file from a web server.

However, now I need to be able to check the last modified date in the HTTP header for the file without actually downloading the file.

Is this possible to do with NSURLConnection? I was hoping that I could look at the header in
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse: (NSURLResponse *)response


and then cancel the download, but using tcpdump, I see that I'm downloading the whole file anyway.


Anyone have any ideas how to do what I want?

thanks

Are you sure the cancel isn't working? Is it a small page you're downloading? If so, the whole page might have been sent before you get the chance to cancel it.
