CocoaHTTPServer
CocoaHTTPServer copied to clipboard
HTTPServer should only observe notifications relevant to its own instance
in HTTPServer.m, under the -init
method
// Register for notifications of closed connections
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(connectionDidDie:)
name:HTTPConnectionDidDieNotification
object:nil];
// Register for notifications of closed websocket connections
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(webSocketDidDie:)
name:WebSocketDidDieNotification
object:nil];
Which calls
/**
* This method is automatically called when a notification of type HTTPConnectionDidDieNotification is posted.
* It allows us to remove the connection from our array.
**/
- (void)connectionDidDie:(NSNotification *)notification
{
// Note: This method is called on the connection queue that posted the notification
[connectionsLock lock];
HTTPLogTrace();
[connections removeObject:[notification object]];
[connectionsLock unlock];
}
/**
* This method is automatically called when a notification of type WebSocketDidDieNotification is posted.
* It allows us to remove the websocket from our array.
**/
- (void)webSocketDidDie:(NSNotification *)notification
{
// Note: This method is called on the connection queue that posted the notification
[webSocketsLock lock];
HTTPLogTrace();
[webSockets removeObject:[notification object]];
[webSocketsLock unlock];
}
While this code is perfectly legal and will not cause any error if a app has multiple HTTPServer instances, the original [NSNotificationCenter -addObserver: selector: name: object: ]
call should include the server as the method's object:
argument to reduce the overhead that [NSMutableArray -removeObject:]
will cause (and the locking).
Apple docs (https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSMutableArray_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/occ/instm/NSMutableArray/removeObject:)
If the array does not contain anObject, the method has no effect (although it does incur the overhead of searching the contents).
