Form Data Request using NSURLConnection in IOS



I want to make http form post using NSURLConnection in IOS.I have two form field and one file upload option in html form.When I am doing same thing using NSURLConnection I am not getting response.

















NSString *urlString = @"http://url/test.php";

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];

[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data"];

[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];

[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"myphoto.png\"rn"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-streamrnrn"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

[body appendData:filedata];

[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"&s=YL4e6ouKirNDgCk0xV2HKixt&hw=141246514ytdjadh"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

[request setHTTPBody:body];

NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];

NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

NSLog(@"RETURNED:%@",returnString);
















But when I am using http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/How-to-use and write the following code it's working and I am getting response.











ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://url/test.php"]];

[request setPostValue:@"YL4e6ouKirNDgCk0xV2HKixt&hw" forKey:@"s"];

[request setPostValue:@"141246514ytdjadh" forKey:@"hw"];

[request setData:filedata withFileName:@"myphoto.png" andContentType:@"image/jpeg" forKey:@"file"];

[request startSynchronous];

NSError *error = [request error];

if (!error)

{

NSString *response = [request responseString];

NSLog(@"response:%@",response);

}







Can anyone tell me in NSURLConnection part where I am doing wrong.


Thanks in advance

  1. You are not copying the example of that link. In that tutorial, the HTTPBody parameter is supposed to by an instance of NSData, not NSString.

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"value1=test3&value2=test"];
    [request setHTTPBody:[myString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

  2. Try this ....

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"URL"];
    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];


    NSString *myRequestString =@"Request string";
    NSLog(@"%@",myRequestString);
    NSData *myRequestData = [ NSData dataWithBytes: [ myRequestString UTF8String ] length: [ myRequestString length ] ];

    [ request setHTTPBody: myRequestData ];

    NSURLResponse *response;
    NSError *err;
    NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&err];
    NSString *content = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[responseData bytes]];

  3. I tried this code for uploading the image and its working. Added boundry.



    NSString *urlString = @"URL";

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
    [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

    NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@", boundary];
    [request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

    NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"Test.png\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [request setHTTPBody:body];

    NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
