Aws-sdk-ios: Cancellation support in API Gateway

[freak4pc]

I've digged through the docs and Headers etc ... Can't find any feasible way of disposing a AWSTask after I start executing.

Is there any best-practice / method for doing this ?

AWSRequest, a parent of most of the request objects, has - cancel. You can use it to cancel the request.

Hey @yosuke-matsuda , thanks for your comment.

AWSTask specifically has no such method and doesn't inherit/owns AWSRequest.

There are some methods containing a cancellationToken parameter, but couldn't really understand the context of those.

[yosuke-matsuda]

You need to call - cancel on the request, not on the task object.

[freak4pc]

Some methods in the AWS SDK return a AWSTask. And there's no way to access it's request directly that I can see, meaning no way to cancel it directly ... unless I'm missing something?

[yosuke-matsuda]

Which method do you want to cancel?

[freak4pc]

For example, APIGateway has a invokeHTTPRequest method that returns a AWSTask. I would like to cancel this after firing and don't have access to the NSURLRequest, as it's created within the method.

[yosuke-matsuda]

Currently, the SDK generated by Amazon API Gateway does not support cancellation. We will share this as a feature request to the API Gateway team. Thanks.

Any updates on this? This should be fairly simple to implement.
