# URLSession.ResponseDisposition

Constants indicating how a data or upload session should proceed after receiving the initial headers.

## Declaration

```swift
enum ResponseDisposition
```

## Overview

Overview When a data or upload task first receives a response, it calls the  urlSession(_:dataTask:didReceive:completionHandler:) method of URLSessionDataDelegate. Implement this method to inspect the received URLResponse and then call the provided completion handler. The first parameter to the completion handler is of this type, a disposition that tells the task how to proceed.
