AFNetworking simple HTTP request

I am using AFNetworking in my project and I simply need to check if a URL is successful (status 2xx).

I tried

NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url2check];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation
    JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request
    success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
        if (response.status == 200) {
            NSLog(@"Ok %@", JSON);
        }
    }
    failure:nil
];
[operation start];

But as I'm not awaiting JSON especially, I was expecting to use something like

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [AFHTTPRequestOperation
    HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest: success: failure:];

But this does not exist (I don't know why), so I used

AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]
    initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:...]

Isn't there simpler ?

How would you do this simple URL check with AFNetworking ?

Here is what I ended up with

NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url2check];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]
                                     initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation
                                           , id responseObject) {
        // code
    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        // code
    }
];
[operation start];

Feel free to add a simpler way.

You just could instantiate a AFHTTPClient object with the base URL and call getPath:parameters:success:failure: on it.

from the docs:

Creates an AFHTTPRequestOperation with a GET request, and enqueues it to the HTTP client’s operation queue.
