Asynchronous HTTP Responses
===========================
New in GCDWebServer 3.0 is the ability to process HTTP requests aysnchronously i.e. add handlers to the server which generate their ```GCDWebServerResponse``` asynchronously. This is achieved by adding handlers that use a ```GCDWebServerAsyncProcessBlock``` instead of a ```GCDWebServerProcessBlock```. Here's an example:
**(Synchronous version)** The handler blocks while generating the HTTP response:
```objectivec
[webServer addDefaultHandlerForMethod:@"GET"
requestClass:[GCDWebServerRequest class]
processBlock:^GCDWebServerResponse *(GCDWebServerRequest* request) {
GCDWebServerDataResponse* response = [GCDWebServerDataResponse responseWithHTML:@"<html><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html>"];
return response;
}];
```
**(Asynchronous version)** The handler returns immediately and calls back GCDWebServer later with the generated HTTP response:
```objectivec
[webServer addDefaultHandlerForMethod:@"GET"
requestClass:[GCDWebServerRequest class]
asyncProcessBlock:^(GCDWebServerRequest* request, GCDWebServerCompletionBlock completionBlock) {
// Do some async operation like network access or file I/O (simulated here using dispatch_after())
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(3 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
GCDWebServerDataResponse* response = [GCDWebServerDataResponse responseWithHTML:@"<html><body><p>Hello World</p></body></html>"];
completionBlock(response);
});
}];
```
**(Advanced asynchronous version)** The handler returns immediately a streamed HTTP response which itself generates its contents asynchronously:
```objectivec
[webServer addDefaultHandlerForMethod:@"GET"
requestClass:[GCDWebServerRequest class]
processBlock:^GCDWebServerResponse *(GCDWebServerRequest* request) {
NSMutableArray* contents = [NSMutableArray arrayWithObjects:@"<html><body><p>\n", @"Hello World!\n", @"</p></body></html>\n", nil]; // Fake data source we are reading from
GCDWebServerStreamedResponse* response = [GCDWebServerStreamedResponse responseWithContentType:@"text/html" asyncStreamBlock:^(GCDWebServerBodyReaderCompletionBlock completionBlock) {
// Simulate a delay reading from the fake data source
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(1 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_global_queue(DISPATCH_QUEUE_PRIORITY_DEFAULT, 0), ^{
NSString* string = contents.firstObject;
if (string) {
[contents removeObjectAtIndex:0];
completionBlock([string dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding], nil); // Generate the 2nd part of the stream data
} else {
completionBlock([NSData data], nil); // Must pass an empty NSData to signal the end of the stream
}
});
}];
return response;
}];
```
*Note that you can even combine both the asynchronous and advanced asynchronous versions to return asynchronously an asynchronous HTTP response!*

Note that most methods on ```GCDWebServer``` to add handlers only require the ```GCDWebServerProcessBlock``` or ```GCDWebServerAsyncProcessBlock``` as they already provide a built-in ```GCDWebServerMatchBlock``` e.g. to match a URL path with a Regex.
