A URL session task that returns downloaded data directly to the app in memory.

A NSURLSessionDataTaskMBS is a concrete subclass of NSURLSessionTaskMBS. The methods in the NSURLSessionDataTaskMBS class are documented in NSURLSessionTaskMBS.

A data task returns data directly to the app (in memory) as one or more NSData objects. When you use a data task:

  • During upload of the body data (if your app provides any), the session periodically calls the taskDidSendBodyData event with status information.
  • After receiving an initial response, the session calls the dataTaskDidReceiveResponse event to let you examine the status code and headers, and optionally convert the data task into a download task.
  • During the transfer, the session calls dataTaskDidReceiveData event to provide your app with the content as it arrives.
  • Upon completion, the session calls the dataTaskWillCacheResponse event to let you determine whether the response should be cached.

For examples of using data tasks for fetching and uploading data, see Fetching Website Data into Memory and Uploading Data to a Website on Apple website.
