Does AFNetworking have backgrounding support?
EDIT: As of AFNetworking 1.0RC1, this is an explicit feature. AFURLConnectionOperation now has the method setShouldExecuteAsBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:, which transparently manages all of this for you.
It's an implicit feature, so I didn't really think about advertising it. All you'd need to do is:
- (void)applicationWillResignActive:(UIApplication *)application { __block UIBackgroundTaskIdentifier backgroundTaskIdentifier = [application beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler:^(void) { [application endBackgroundTask:backgroundTaskIdentifier]; [[YourRestClient sharedClient] cancelAllHTTPOperations]; }];}Or, if you manage your operations in your own NSOperationQueue, just -cancelAllOperations here instead.
