NSURLSession+SynchronousTask

NSURLSession+SynchronousTask is an NSURLSession category which brings NSURLConnection-like (remember sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:?) synchronous tasks to NSURLSession.

Internally the category uses GCD to wait for the tasks to finish.

Installation

CocoaPods is the recommended method of installing NSURLSession-SynchronousTask. Simply add the following line to your Podfile:

Podfile

pod 'NSURLSession-SynchronousTask'
