Downloading a file using MKNetworkKit
In the previous recipe, we saw how to upload a file using MKNetworkKit. In this recipe we will be downloading a file from the Internet. Since all of MKNetworkKit's functionality is encapsulated within the MKNetworkEngine and
MKNetworkOperation classes, we need to create an engine first.
We will be using the downloadFileAtPath: method of the MKNetworkOperation class to download the file at the specified path. We will then add the addDownloadStream: callback to our MKNetworkOperation object. This callback will write the file to a stream.
While this recipe downloads an image, we can use the same methods to download any type of file.
