Instance Method

cancel()

Cancels the task.

Declaration

func cancel()

Discussion

This method returns immediately, marking the task as being canceled. Once a task is marked as being canceled, urlSession(_:task:didCompleteWithError:) will be sent to the task delegate, passing an error in the domain NSURLErrorDomain with the code NSURLErrorCancelled. A task may, under some circumstances, send messages to its delegate before the cancelation is acknowledged.

This method may be called on a task that is suspended.
