通过NSURLConnection进行异步下载
NSURLConnection提供了两种方式来实现连接,一种是同步的另一种是异步的,异步的连接将会创建一个新的线程,这个线程将会来负责下载的动作。而对于同步连接,在下载连接和处理通讯时,则会阻塞当前调用线程。
许多开发者都会认为同步的连接将会堵塞主线程,其实这种观点是错误的。一个同步的连接是会阻塞调用它的线程。如果你在主线程中创建一个同步连接,没错,主线程会阻塞。但是如果你并不是从主线程开启的一个同步的连接,它将会类似异步的连接一样。因此这种情况并不会堵塞你的主线程。事实上,同步和异步的主要区别就是运行runtime 为会异步连接创建一个线程,而同步连接则不会。

通过NSURLConnection进行同步下载
使用NSURLConnection的 sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:类方法,我们可以进行同步请求。在创建一个同步的网络连接的时候我们需要明白一点,并不是是我们的这个同步连接一定会堵塞我们的主线程,如果这个同步的连接是创建在主线程上的,那么这种情况下是会堵塞我们的主线程的,其他的情况下是不一定会堵塞我们的主线程的。如果你在GCD 的全局并发队列上初始化了一个同步的连接,你其实并不会堵塞我们的主线程的。
我们来初始化第一个同步连接,并看看会发生什么。在实例中,我们将尝试获取Yahoo!美国站点主页内容:
[objc] view plain copy print ?
-
- -(void)fetchYahooData{
- NSLog(@"We are here...");
- NSString *urlString = @"http://www.yahoo.com";
- NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
- NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
- NSURLResponse *response = nil;
- NSError *error = nil;
- NSLog(@"Firing synchronous url connection...");
- NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
- if ([data length] > 0 && error == nil) {
- NSLog(@"%lu bytes of data was returned.",(unsigned long)[data length]);
- }else if([data length] == 0 && error == nil){
- NSLog(@"No data was return.");
- }else if (error != nil){
- NSLog(@"Error happened = %@",error);
- }
- NSLog(@"We are done.");
-
- }
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
- -(void)fetchYahooData2_GCD{
- NSLog(@"We are here...");
- NSString *urlString = @"http://www.yahoo.com";
- NSLog(@"Firing synchronous url connection...");
- dispatch_queue_t dispatchQueue = dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0);
- dispatch_async(dispatchQueue, ^{
- NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
- NSURLRequest *urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
- NSURLResponse *response = nil;
- NSError *error = nil;
- NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
- if ([data length] > 0 && error == nil) {
- NSLog(@"%lu bytes of data was returned.",(unsigned long)[data length]);
- }else if ([data length] == 0 && error == nil){
- NSLog(@"No data was returned.");
- }else if (error != nil){
- NSLog(@"Error happened = %@",error);
- }
- });
- NSLog(@"We are done.");
-
- }
查看运行输出结果,分别为:
synchronous download on main thread without GCD

synchronous download on main thread with GCD
可以看到在主线程上调用同步下载会阻塞当前线程,而使用GCD则不会。
通过NSURLConnection发送一个HTTP GET请求

- NSString *html = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
- NSLog(@"HTML = %@",html);

- [NSURLConnection
- sendAsynchronousRequest:urlRequest
- queue:queue completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data,
- NSError *error) {
- if ([data length] >0 &&
- error == nil){
- NSString *html = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; NSLog(@"HTML = %@", html);
