ios - How to find and cancel a task in NSURLSession?

Question

I'm using an NSURLSession object to load images in my application. That could be loading several images simultaneously.

In some moments I need to cancel the loading of one specific image and continue loading others.

Could you suggest the correct way to do that?

To get tasks list you can use NSURLSession's method

- (void)getTasksWithCompletionHandler:(void (^)(NSArray *dataTasks, NSArray *uploadTasks, NSArray *downloadTasks))completionHandler;

Asynchronously calls a completion callback with all outstanding data, upload, and download tasks in a session.

Then check task.originalRequest.URL for returned tasks to find the one you want to cancel.
