When the connection is reliable, larger chunk sizes mean better overall performance. If there are connection errors, smaller chunk sizes means you have to retransmit fewer bytes when requests do fail. You may want to try different sizes to see what works best for your app.
Anyway, for both versions of the method, the input you provide is expected to be just the data you want to upload for that single request. So for the URL version, the URL should point to just one chunk size's worth of data.
Great, thanks. It might be an idea to put a note about this in the documentation, as it's not at all clear that the URL should point to a single chunk of data, especially as it's done differently from API 1 (I'm not even sure how you would have a URL point to a chunk of data).
I've moved over to using NSFileHandle, though, and that works great. And I really like how you can now determine the chunk size, unlike in API 1.
Thanks and all the best,
