NSURLConnection: Greedy Memory Eater and Error 303
Dir Members, I'm trying to use a NSURLConnection to download a large data file (10 MB) from a web service to the iPhone. Currently, testing on iOS 4.2.1, on a device. The connection is established over WIFI. The problem I get with NSURLConnection is, that it internally uses a lot (really a lot) memory for its data buffers. It seems, the connection reads as much data as it can from the network and a tries to safe it in internal buffers, no matter what, apparently until the system cannot provide more memory. In a simple test app, NSURLConnections quite quickly consumes up to 10Mbyte for a number of its buffers - on the iPhone!, which is probably the maximum before the app will be killed. With Instruments, it can be viewed quite easily. The download works as long as the processing of each received buffer (NSData object) does not require further memory. Otherwise, since almost all available memory is allocated by the internals of NSURLConnection, the app will crash quite early. Another problem is, if I process the incoming data buffers more slowly, then it may occur that NSURLConnection returns the following error: Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=303 The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 303.) UserInfo=0x3911830 {NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://ag-macbookpro.local:3000/download/download, NSErrorFailingURLStringKey=http://ag-macbookpro.local:3000/download/download} The slower I process the data, the bigger the internal buffers become, and the sooner I get this error. It does also not make any difference if the thread where the data will be received will be blocked (this slows down the insertion of data objects into a FIFO, but anyway, NSURLConnection will consume the max available memory for its internal buffers). The NSURLConnection is setup using the asynchronous method. I tried two approaches, first scheduling it on the main thread, and second scheduling it on a secondary thread. There is basically no difference. In the test, the processing of the data buffers will not require additional memory, and due to this downloading works in this scenario - unless the speed to process the received data buffers drops too a certain limit. However, my real app would need to allocate additional objects when processing the data. Then, there is a 100% guarantee that the app will crash. So, currently, I have no idea how to make this work (using a NSURLConnection) unless I can tell NSURLConnection to be less greedy, and throttle the reading of data from the network somehow. And to be honest, this behavior seems to be a bug at least when using it on the iPhone. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for tips!

They grow up to about 1 MBytes, and severals of them may be allocated. My app can be configured how many NSData buffers it keeps alive for processing in a FIFO queue and this is currently the minimum: just one (if more come in, the thread blocks). So, all other buffers should be freed sooner or later by NSURLConnection. But the huge sizes cause a problem on the tiny iPhone ;) and my code fights against NSURLConnection to get a share. One other thing is, using Instruments makes the scenario worse. When Instruments is connected, the app crashes much sooner due to memory problems. So, I support my observations on logs, too. ___ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.

Changing default file - application association
Hi folks, I have an application that we wrong. There is an older version of the application that I will call V0, and a newer version of the application that I will call V1. I have both V0 and V1 installed on my computer(s) (Mac OS X 10.6 and 10.7). Both V0 and V1 generate application specific documents (files) that can be opened by both V0 and V1. Mac OS X associates the all instances of my application specific documents/files with V1. When I try to change such association using: Right Click on File - Get Info - Open With - Select Application - Change All Mac OS X refused to change the association for an unknown reason (even though it lists V0 as a candidate). It is not clear to me why that is the case. Interestingly, when I try to change the association on just that particular file (not all files of the same type) it works like a charm.

Re: nonatomic vs atomic assign/retain
On Wed, 07 Sep 2011 13:06:28 -0500, glenn andreas gandr...@mac.com said: Anyway. But I am curious - can you provide an example where you modified an outlet? On iOS, a common technique to make complex table view cells is to put them in their own nib files, have a table view controller have: @property (nonatomic, retain) IBOutlet UITableViewCell *loadedCell; and then: - (UITableViewCell *)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath { UITableViewCell *cell = [tableView dequeueReusableCellWithIdentifier: self.identifier]; if (!cell) { [[NSBundle mainBundle] loadNibNamed:@ComplexTableViewCell owner:self options:nil]; cell = [[self.loadedCell retain] autorelease]; self.loadedCell = nil; } // configure and return cell... } (1) I don't think that's an example of modifying an *outlet*, though.

More of the networking experts hang out there — several Apple engineers with CFNetwork expertise reply to questions pretty regularly. Another problem is, if I process the incoming data buffers more slowly, then it may occur that NSURLConnection returns the following error: Error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=303 The operation couldn’t be completed. (kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork error 303.) According to CFNetworkErrors.h, this is kCFErrorHTTPParseFailure. That’s rather strange; I can’t think of any reason why slowing down reading the data would cause CFNetwork to have trouble parsing the HTTP response. What is the server on the other end?

Locking an NSDocument
Hi all, If you adopt the new +autosavesInPlace feature on Lion, documents that haven't been opened in a while will get a Locked message in the titlebar, which the user can override by clicking and choosing Unlock, or by attempting to make a change to the document and choosing Unlock from the resulting sheet. I'm trying to force a document to open as locked. The use case is for upgrading documents from our previous file format. In the past, if the user tried to open an old file, we'd upgrade the document, place the new version alongside the old version, and open the new version. We can't do that in the new sandboxing world. So we thought we would open the old version Locked, and if the user tried to make a change we'd present a sheet saying the document was locked because it was in an older file format; the sheet would contain a Duplicate and Upgrade button. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there's any public API to force a document to be locked. The closest I've come is -[NSDocument checkAutosavingSafetyAndReturnError:], but it doesn't seem to be called at all the times I'd expect it to be called (for example, a new document), and returning NO doesn't put the Locked text in the titlebar; it just prohibits the user from making any changes without duplicating. Likewise, returning YES from -isInViewingMode just makes it impossible to make any changes to the document. We already support the notion of read-only documents in this application, and it would be a shame to reimplement something similar to NSDocument's concept of locked documents, especially if the two fight with each other. Is there any way to hook into the locked documents machinery?

The Locked attribute belongs to the user, and is not yours (the developer, the application, whichever) to manipulate, even with the best of intentions. Surely, when an old-file-format document receives an editing change in the Lion UI world, what you want to do is to immediately and without user interaction create a new version of the document (that is, whatever the Save a Version… menu item does). 2. The Duplicate solution, even if you could get there in the way you propose, doesn't seem like the best way to proceed in the Lion UI world. My reasoning is this: 1. If the document happens to be locked, the normal unlock?/cancel?/duplicate? interaction will occur (or will have occurred -- I don't remember without looking it up exactly when this is triggered). If the document is not locked, it's editable as far as the user is concerned, so involving the user in a decision about what to do just makes your problem (what to do with the old format) the user's problem instead. And though there's no *necessity* to do anything special, as a courtesy to the user it seems desirable to preserve the document as it was before the format change, as a separate version. 2. Part of the value of Versions is that sweeps away all that old cruft about sidegrading documents for reasons such as file format changes. It relieves the user of the need to create (directly or indirectly) multiple distinct copies of a document just in case something happens that creates a new to go back. The Versions mechanism itself provides a better safety net, and it does it automatically (or automatically). By better, I mean the user isn't faced with the file management implied by having multiple differently named files. In short, I guess, the new Versions UI metaphor relieves you of the burden of implementing all of the old safety nets yourself.

The problem with that is that the actual loading process might be lossy. So if the user receives a version 1 document in an email, and only has version 2 of the application, they will never have an opportunity to use the Versions UI to see the file as Version 1 would present it, and AppKit might autosave the document as soon as it is reverted, which of course will also be a (perhaps even more) lossy process. 2. The Duplicate solution, even if you could get there in the way you propose, doesn't seem like the best way to proceed in the Lion UI world. My reasoning is this: 1. If the document happens to be locked, the normal unlock?/cancel?/duplicate? interaction will occur (or will have occurred -- I don't remember without looking it up exactly when this is triggered). I believe providing a custom recovery attempter from -checkAutosavingSafetyAndReturnError: will give me the opportunity to provide my own custom interaction before the standard behavior is tried: When autosaving in place is turned on an NSDocument may invoke this method when it receives notification from its NSUndoManager that the user changed the document, or undid or redid a change. (Or it may not. NSDocument does not invoke this method for scripted changes or after some kinds of reverting.) If an error is returned it presents the error to the user, allowing the user to choose a recovery option. If the error is recovered from then it repeats this until no error is signalled, to make sure that all checks have been done. This means that when you signal an error and the user's choice of recovery option indicates that they have seen and disregarded a safety concern you must record that fact, and not do that particular safety check again. Once all errors are recovered from NSDocument continues on by invoking -updateChangeCount:, which it has done in response to NSUndoManager notifications since Mac OS 10.0. If an error is not recovered from then NSDocument invokes -[NSUndoManager undo] or -[NSUndoManager redo] to roll back the change. So, some of the NSError recovery options you let the user select, like NSDocument's own Duplicate and Cancel, should indicate failed recovery and that will cause the document to be unchanged afterward. If the document is not locked, it's editable as far as the user is concerned, so involving the user in a decision about what to do just makes your problem (what to do with the old format) the user's problem instead.

The Versions mechanism itself provides a better safety net, and it does it automatically (or automatically). By better, I mean the user isn't faced with the file management implied by having multiple differently named files. Leaving the old document aside would be consistent with our old behavior, but consistency isn't required or even necessarily desirable here. It just seemed like the best way to ensure the user had a clear way to fall back to a non-lossy-imported version of their file. The benefit of using the Duplicate machinery for this would be that it's now a standard system behavior that doesn't silently create new files on disk; the old file remains intact, and the new file gets autosaved to the temporary location until the user explicitly chooses to Save it, at which point they're prompted for a location. In short, I guess, the new Versions UI metaphor relieves you of the burden of implementing all of the old safety nets yourself. Does that make any sense? It makes sense, but I don't know if it sufficiently handles the case of upgrading a file from a different file format, since there's no way for the Versions UI to present the original, un-upgraded version of the file—it will always be shown through the filter of upgrading.

Re: Lion breaks the ability to click-through transparent window areas when the window is resizable.
Follow-Up: While doing some additional testing before writing a bug report, I noticed that Apple's RoundTransparentWindow sample code did work as expected! Turns out that setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO will do the actual breaking. Thus: Bug ID# 10104405 Summary: Sending setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO to a borderless window makes the transparent parts of the window opaque to mouse events. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take RoundTransparentWindow sample project (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/samplecode/RoundTransparentWindow/) 2. Add [self setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO]; to the CustomWindow class' initializer: - (id)initWithContentRect:(NSRect)contentRect styleMask:(NSUInteger)aStyle backing:(NSBackingStoreType)bufferingType defer:(BOOL)flag { // Using NSBorderlessWindowMask results in a window without a title bar. self = [super initWithContentRect:contentRect styleMask:NSBorderlessWindowMask backing:NSBackingStoreBuffered defer:NO]; if (self != nil) { // Start with no transparency for all drawing into the window [self setAlphaValue:1.0]; // Turn off opacity so that the parts of the window that are not drawn into are transparent. [self setOpaque:NO]; // this following call will make the transparent parts of the window opaque to mouse events! [self setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO]; } return self; } 3. Run project. 4. Click and drag inside the window's frame but outside the visible content. The window will move. Expected Results: Mouse events should be ignored for transparent parts of the window. Actual Results: Window receives mouse events everywhere inside its frame, regardless of opacity. Regression: This did work as expected in versions of Mac OS X prior to 10.7. Notes: Regarding this specific example: Since the window was initially (per default) set up to NOT ignore mouse events anyway, setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO shouldn't do anything at all.

From the old AppKit release notes, circa 10.3 https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#releasenotes/Cocoa/AppKitOlderNotes.html: We fixed -setIgnoresMouseEvents: so that it works more reliably for opaque windows that want to be transparent to mouse events, and also works for transparent windows that want to receive mouse events. In Jaguar, this API only somewhat worked for ignoring events, and did not work at all for receiving mouse events in transparent windows. So, it is apparently intentional that setIgnoresMouseEvents:NO will make a transparent window non-transparent to mouse events. I recognize that this seems to be a change in Lion vs. Snow Leopard, but the Lion behavior seems to restore intended behavior. I guess you'll know for sure when Apple responds to your bug report.
