Cannot retrieve image bits using HTTP.get about afmotion

[clayallsopp]

Use:

AFMotion::Image.get("https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png") do |result|
  puts result.object # UIImage
end

My understanding is that this does not retrieve the actual bits, it retrieves an NSImage object. Am I wrong?

[clayallsopp]

You can use the UIImage object to extract that information, no?

imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image) # NSData instance

While I was not aware of that, it still has a problem that I'm recompressing the image that came from the remote side, and doesn't address the core issue. (I'm sorry I used an image as the example here, it confused the problem.)

My core issue is that the AFMotion::HTTP.get method apparently expects HTML, when it shouldn't force any particular content-type. If I want to use it to retrieve an application/dmg it should work.

Here's the headers that it sends (with the 2.1.4 version):

GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: localhost:9090
Accept: */*
Accept-Language: en;q=1, ja;q=0.9, fr;q=0.8, de;q=0.7, es;q=0.6, it;q=0.5
Connection: keep-alive
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
User-Agent: MyApplication/1.0 (Mac OS X Version 10.9.2 (Build 13C64))

Given that it says it accepts */*, I think that the content type shouldn't fail on return. Is there an easy workaround to force AFMotion::HTTP.get to actually retrieve an arbitrary content-type, potentially returning it as NSData or something similar?

Ah! I understand now; your other fix 12caa46 apparently fixed this! I can now access request.object as follows:

AFMotion::HTTP.get("https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png") {|result| p result.object }

Thanks muchly!
