Why is success block being called with incorrect path?

I accidentally mistyped the post path and noticed that although it's being wrong, the success block is called:

[[APIClient sharedInstance]
 postPath:@"api_url"
 parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
     NSLog(@"Result: Success %@",[responseObject description]);

 } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
     //handle error
     NSLog(@"Result: Failure + %@",error.userInfo);

  }];

Of course the data are not being sent to server and the transaction is not processed, but I want to know why it's not the failure block which is supposed to be called in case the path is wrong? Thanx.

Solution

  • Failure is called if the requestOperation has an associated error after finishing. Reasons for an error include the response having the incorrect Content-Type, not having an acceptable status code (2XX range, by default), or an error processing the downloaded data.

    Why your server returned a 200 response with the correct content type is a question only something you can determine.
