{"comment":{"created_at":"2011-10-21T19:17:23Z","body":"Yeah, this is a bit strange. The wonkiness comes from the subclass (`AFHTTPRequestionOperation`) having a default implementation to conform to `AFHTTPClientOperation`... which is kinda dumb, actually. I was paranoid about subclasses forgetting to override, and being confused when NSData comes back.\r\n \r\nI should definitely fix that for 0.7.x","updated_at":"2011-10-21T19:17:23Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gowalla/AFNetworking/issues/comments/2485134","id":2485134,"user":{"gravatar_id":"d29bb4d2d2f2ba2c2fb5a329e1e4651f","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/d29bb4d2d2f2ba2c2fb5a329e1e4651f?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/mattt","id":7659,"login":"mattt"}},"action":"created","issue":{"number":82,"created_at":"2011-10-19T19:11:00Z","pull_request":{"diff_url":null,"patch_url":null,"html_url":null},"body":"In my use of AFNetworking I want to do both requests for JSON content and also data downloads.  Looking through the code it seems that things default to AFHTTPRequestOperation if there's no accept header for JSON or XML, so I thought that would be good.  But I couldn't figure out why it wasn't making the requests, and I was getting back nil.  Then I saw this:\r\n\r\n    + (AFHTTPRequestOperation *)HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)urlRequest\r\n                                                        success:(void (^)(id object))success \r\n                                                        failure:(void (^)(NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error))failure\r\n    {\r\n        return nil;\r\n    }\r\n\r\nMaybe I'm missing something, but I don't understand why this would be the implementation.  Why not pass the NSData to the success block?  Or, if not making the request is the intended behavior, then some sort of console output saying why.  Surely I'm confused.","comments":1,"title":"AFHTTPRequestOperation seems to silently do nothing","updated_at":"2011-10-21T19:17:23Z","url":"https://api.github.com/repos/gowalla/AFNetworking/issues/82","id":1997381,"assignee":null,"milestone":null,"closed_at":null,"user":{"gravatar_id":"04d6b8e8d3c68899ac88eb8623392150","avatar_url":"https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/04d6b8e8d3c68899ac88eb8623392150?d=https://a248.e.akamai.net/assets.github.com%2Fimages%2Fgravatars%2Fgravatar-140.png","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ericflo","id":1228,"login":"ericflo"},"html_url":"https://github.com/gowalla/AFNetworking/issues/82","labels":[],"state":"open"},"legacy":{"issue_id":1997381,"comment_id":2485134}}
