[Mono-osx] MonoMac: NSUrlConnection

[Duane Wandless]

Ok... the current handwritten method for SendSynchronousRequest does not
work.  I know it is not currently public but I wanted to figure out the
correct solution.

If you try to access the NSError object after, an exception is raised.
 Attached is a set of changes that will set the NSError object correctly.

You call it like this:
            NSURLResponse respUrl;
            NSError respErr = new NSError(NSObjectFlag.Empty);

            NSData data = NSUrlConnection.SendSynchronousRequest(m_urlReq,
out respUrl, respErr);

And the respErr.Handle is changed in the SendSync..Request method.  At least
for NSError you are required to pass the NSObjectFlag.Empty.

I think the binding should be the preferred solution.  So the attached diff
also changes the name of the selector so it does not clash with the binding.

And again the binding is:
[Static, Export ("sendSynchronousRequest:returningResponse:error:")]
NSData SendSynchronousRequest (NSUrlRequest request, out NSUrlResponse
response, out NSError error);

Thanks,
Duane
