The directory contains classes useful in testing of web-clients.
They are written mainly with the necessity to test the class NSURLConnection
in mind.
TestCase
NSURLConnectionTest
is a child of TestCase and represents a test of NSURLConnection.
It starts a main instance and (if needed) an auxillary instance
of TestWebServer (or uses externally supplied ones). Then it makes
a custom request to check various functionality of NSURLConnection.
TestWebServer
maintains it's own instance of SimpleWebServer and implements
SimpleWebServer delegate's protocol to dispatch any request
to a corresponding handler. It can call it's delegate during
proceeding of requests.
RequestHandler
TestHandler and it's descendants
handle requests (dispatched by TestWebServer) and produces
a custom response. It also calls it's delegate (using TestWebServer
delegate's protocol) during request handling.
SimpleWebServer
The own implementation of a web server.
The key protocols important for understanding are TestProgress (TestCase.h)
and TestWebServerDelegate (TestWebServer.h). Alternatively the file
NSURLConnectionTest.h briefly describes the whole picture.
