Yup, I already use CFHTTPMessage for other stuff. I discovered the SSL and proxy support right after sending my email. *facepalm*
- Stream tasks do handle auth challenges via NSURLSession's delegate, and its own delegate as well
The only kind of auth challenges I imagine they can support are SSL server trust and client certs. Other auth is at the HTTP level, but a task opened as a stream isn’t doing any HTTP parsing. So that means no HTTP Basic or Digest auth, or cookie-based sessions, or OAuth, etc. —Jens _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
