先从一个普通的get请求看起，一步步的挖掘代码。

这一层都是在AFHTTPSessionManager类中执行

1. 先调用AFHTTPSessionManager中的方法

- (NSURLSessionDataTask *)GET:(NSString *)URLString
                   parameters:(id)parameters
                      success:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject))success
                      failure:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error))failure
{

    return [self GET:URLString parameters:parameters progress:nil success:success failure:failure];
}

最终会调用到这个地方

- (NSURLSessionDataTask *)dataTaskWithHTTPMethod:(NSString *)method
                                       URLString:(NSString *)URLString
                                      parameters:(id)parameters
                                  uploadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *uploadProgress)) uploadProgress
                                downloadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *downloadProgress)) downloadProgress
                                         success:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask *, id))success
                                         failure:(void (^)(NSURLSessionDataTask *, NSError *))failure
{
    NSError *serializationError = nil;
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [self.requestSerializer requestWithMethod:method URLString:[[NSURL URLWithString:URLString relativeToURL:self.baseURL] absoluteString] parameters:parameters error:&serializationError];
    if (serializationError) {
        if (failure) {
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wgnu"
            dispatch_async(self.completionQueue ?: dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
                failure(nil, serializationError);
            });
#pragma clang diagnostic pop
        }

        return nil;
    }

    __block NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask = nil;
    dataTask = [self dataTaskWithRequest:request
                          uploadProgress:uploadProgress
                        downloadProgress:downloadProgress
                       completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * __unused response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {
        if (error) {
            if (failure) {
                failure(dataTask, error);
            }
        } else {
            if (success) {
                success(dataTask, responseObject);
            }
        }
    }];

    return dataTask;
}

其中重点是dataTask是如何创建的

    dataTask = [self dataTaskWithRequest:request
                          uploadProgress:uploadProgress
                        downloadProgress:downloadProgress
                       completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse * __unused response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {}];

我们看一下AFHTTPSessionManager的定义

@interface AFHTTPSessionManager : AFURLSessionManager <NSSecureCoding, NSCopying>

下面就会走到AFURLSessionManager的方法中

- (NSURLSessionDataTask *)dataTaskWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request
                               uploadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *uploadProgress)) uploadProgressBlock
                             downloadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *downloadProgress)) downloadProgressBlock
                            completionHandler:(nullable void (^)(NSURLResponse *response, id _Nullable responseObject,  NSError * _Nullable error))completionHandler {

    __block NSURLSessionDataTask *dataTask = nil;
    url_session_manager_create_task_safely(^{
        dataTask = [self.session dataTaskWithRequest:request];
    });

    [self addDelegateForDataTask:dataTask uploadProgress:uploadProgressBlock downloadProgress:downloadProgressBlock completionHandler:completionHandler];

    return dataTask;
}

AFURLSessionManager中包含NSURLSession *session对象，同时还遵循NSURLSessionDelegate, NSURLSessionTaskDelegate, NSURLSessionDataDelegate, NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate等协议方法

在一个app中一般会存在一个AFURLSessionManager对象也就只有一个NSURLSession *session对象，每个网络请求是一个NSURLSessionTask对象。

然后重点看一下下面的方法

- (void)addDelegateForDataTask:(NSURLSessionDataTask *)dataTask
                uploadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *uploadProgress)) uploadProgressBlock
              downloadProgress:(nullable void (^)(NSProgress *downloadProgress)) downloadProgressBlock
             completionHandler:(void (^)(NSURLResponse *response, id responseObject, NSError *error))completionHandler
{
    AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *delegate = [[AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate alloc] init];
    delegate.manager = self;
    delegate.completionHandler = completionHandler;

    dataTask.taskDescription = self.taskDescriptionForSessionTasks;
    [self setDelegate:delegate forTask:dataTask];

    delegate.uploadProgressBlock = uploadProgressBlock;
    delegate.downloadProgressBlock = downloadProgressBlock;
}

上面的AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate类中主要用来处理网络请求执行中的各种情况，其中你网络请求的各种block都会在这个代理类中有体现

@interface AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate : NSObject <NSURLSessionTaskDelegate, NSURLSessionDataDelegate, NSURLSessionDownloadDelegate>
@property (nonatomic, weak) AFURLSessionManager *manager;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSMutableData *mutableData;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSProgress *uploadProgress;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSProgress *downloadProgress;
@property (nonatomic, copy) NSURL *downloadFileURL;
@property (nonatomic, copy) AFURLSessionDownloadTaskDidFinishDownloadingBlock downloadTaskDidFinishDownloading;
@property (nonatomic, copy) AFURLSessionTaskProgressBlock uploadProgressBlock;
@property (nonatomic, copy) AFURLSessionTaskProgressBlock downloadProgressBlock;
@property (nonatomic, copy) AFURLSessionTaskCompletionHandler completionHandler;
@end

上面的addDelegateForDataTask方法中创建了AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *delegate对象，并执行了[self setDelegate:delegate forTask:dataTask];

- (void)setDelegate:(AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *)delegate
            forTask:(NSURLSessionTask *)task
{
    NSParameterAssert(task);
    NSParameterAssert(delegate);

    [self.lock lock];
    self.mutableTaskDelegatesKeyedByTaskIdentifier[@(task.taskIdentifier)] = delegate;
    [delegate setupProgressForTask:task];
    [self addNotificationObserverForTask:task];
    [self.lock unlock];
}

上面的方法中重点出现了mutableTaskDelegatesKeyedByTaskIdentifier数组，这个数组中存放了网络请求session的AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *delegate对象。当一个网络请求完成时，会执行系统的代理方法，并从mutableTaskDelegatesKeyedByTaskIdentifier中移除AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *delegate对象，并执行每个请求的[delegate URLSession:session task:task didCompleteWithError:error];方法

- (void)URLSession:(NSURLSession *)session
              task:(NSURLSessionTask *)task
didCompleteWithError:(NSError *)error
{
    AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate *delegate = [self delegateForTask:task];

    // delegate may be nil when completing a task in the background
    if (delegate) {
        [delegate URLSession:session task:task didCompleteWithError:error];

        [self removeDelegateForTask:task];
    }

    if (self.taskDidComplete) {
        self.taskDidComplete(session, task, error);
    }
}

总结

AFURLSessionManager是将NSURLSession进行了封装，其内部将NSURLSessionTaskDelegate等代理封装成了AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate对象。通过将各种代理对象存放在mutableTaskDelegatesKeyedByTaskIdentifier数组中，当session中的网络请求完成时，会去mutableTaskDelegatesKeyedByTaskIdentifier的数组中寻找AFURLSessionManagerTaskDelegate并执行completionBlock方法。
