- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connectiondidReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response{ [self.connectionData setLength:0];}- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data{ [self.connectionData appendData:data];}
The first method just sets the data length to zero when the response from the server is initiated. Note that, in some cases, this can happen more than once (if the server initiates a redirect, for example). The second method just appends any received data to a local data object.
When the network connection is complete, it will call this delegate method:
