The error has been documented on the Mac Developer Library(iOS docs)
The concerned segment from the documentation will be:
URL Loading System Error Codes
These values are returned as the error code property of an NSError
object with the domain “NSURLErrorDomain”.enum { NSURLErrorUnknown = -1, NSURLErrorCancelled = -999, NSURLErrorBadURL = -1000, NSURLErrorTimedOut = -1001,
As you can see; -999
is caused by ErrorCancelled
. This means: another request is made before the previous request is completed.
