registerClass(_:)
Attempts to register a subclass of Urlprotocol, making it visible to the URL loading system.
Declaration
class func registerClass(_ protocolClass: AnyClass) -> BoolParameters
- protocolClass:
The subclass to register.
Return Value
true if the registration is successful, false otherwise. The only failure condition is if protocolClass is not a subclass of URLProtocol.
Discussion
Register any custom URLProtocol subclasses prior to making URL requests. When the URL loading system begins to load a request, it tries to initialize each registered protocol class with the specified request. The first URLProtocol subclass to return true when sent a canInit(with:) message is used to load the request. There is no guarantee that all registered protocol classes will be consulted.
Classes are consulted in the reverse order of their registration. A similar design governs the process to create the canonical form of a request with canonicalRequest(for:).
