NSURLSession: can't get resume data after calling cancelByProducingResumeData

Question

I want to resume downloading after user cancels downloading or something wrong happens. But when I call cancelByProducingResumeData method, the resumeData is nil . So, I can't resume downloading. I'm sure the download link can be resumed, because our PC client can resume downloading of this link. Here is my code. Here is the full project .

#import "ViewController.h"

@interface ViewController ()
{
    NSURLSession *_session;

}

@property (weak, nonatomic) IBOutlet UIProgressView *progressView;
@property NSURLSessionDownloadTask *netTask;
@property NSData *resumeData;
@end

@implementation ViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
    [super viewDidLoad];
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    if (_session == nil) {
        NSURLSessionConfiguration *confi = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
        _session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:confi delegate:self delegateQueue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]];
    }
}
- (IBAction)startAction:(id)sender {
    [self start];
}
- (IBAction)stopActon:(id)sender {
    [self stop];
}

- (void)stop {
    __weak typeof(self) vc = self;
    [self.netTask cancelByProducingResumeData:^(NSData * _Nullable resumeData) {
        vc.resumeData = resumeData;
        vc.netTask = nil;
    }];
}

- (void)start {
    if (self.resumeData != nil) {
        self.netTask = [_session downloadTaskWithResumeData:self.resumeData];
    } else {
        NSURL *downlaodURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://sdl24.yunpan.cn/share.php?method=Share.download&cqid=37ef0df7c8155bacf55c237bd433ddd8&dt=24.02b6cbb4148de503fe35ddab08dac35b&e=1459317290&fhash=41181b28ff97806ef8469842b4a5eabc330a0c60&fname=feistudy%2B%2B%25E8%25AF%25AD%25E8%25A8%2580%25E5%25AD%25A6%25E4%25B9%25A0%25E6%2596%25B9%25E6%25B3%2595%25E8%25AE%25BA%25E8%25BF%25B0&fsize=87624815&nid=14471440239484082&st=e08142ab7c935cdd15ecc8851c82e819&xqid=22309244"];
        self.netTask = [_session downloadTaskWithURL:downlaodURL];
    }
    [self.netTask resume];
}

    NSString *doc = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) lastObject];
    NSString *path = [doc stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"p.rmvb"];
    return path;

There's a long list of requirements for when resume data can be obtained. Among other things:

• The response must contain an ETag or Last-Modified header.
• I think the response must also contain an Accept-Ranges: bytes header
• The temporary file must still exist (not low on disk space).
• It must be an HTTP or HTTPS request.
• The Last-Modified or ETag header must indicate that the file hasn't changed since it was last requested.

There might be other requirements that I'm forgetting, eg HTTP/1.1.
