Description

We need to check all the code.
The risk is that if the primary MXHTTPOperation has been cancelled, the second will be still processed and will call the success or failure block which is unexpected.

Research direction

Start by locating MXHTTPOperation and trace its cancellation flow, including where a secondary operation can still be processed and invoke success or failure callbacks. Review all call sites that use mutateTo and add coverage showing that a secondary operation is not mutated after the original operation is cancelled.
