title: iOS 7 background upload and POST requests
body: <p>I need to upload files in the background with other HTTP <strong>POST</strong> requests before and after each upload.</p>
  
  <p>Previously I was using <strong>beginBackgroundTaskWithExpirationHandler</strong> which was working perfectly till iOS 6 but from IOS 7 it is restricted for approx 180 seconds only which is a concern.</p>
  
  <p>I have read the documents regarding NSURLSession were in we have Background transfer service. But the problem with this is it only allows upload and download in background. It doesn't allow me to make POST request after every upload in the background. </p>
  
  <p>So is there any way to make the POST request along with the background uploads?</p>
  
  <p>Any hint in the right direction would  be highly appreciated.</p>
