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];

Why is this Javascript much *slower* than its jQuery equivalent?

I have a HTML list of about 500 items and a "filter" box above it. I started by using jQuery to filter the list when I typed a letter (timing code added later): $('#filter').keyup( function() { var jqStart = (new Date).getTime(); var search = $(this).val().toLowerCase(); var $list = $('ul.ablist > li'); $list.each( function() { if ( $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf(search) === -1 ) $(this).hide(); else $(this).show(); } ); console.log('Time: ' + ((new Date).getTime() - jqStart)); } ); However, there was a couple of seconds delay after typing each letter (particularly the first letter). So I thought it may be slightly quicker if I used plain Javascript (I read recently that jQuery's each function is particularly slow). Here's my JS equivalent: document.getElementById('filter').addEventListener( 'keyup', function () { var jsStart = (new Date).getTime()...

Is it possible to have IF statement in an Echo statement in PHP

Thanks in advance. I did look at the other questions/answers that were similar and didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm trying to do this, am I on the right path? echo " <div id='tabs-".$match."'> <textarea id='".$match."' name='".$match."'>". if ($COLUMN_NAME === $match) { echo $FIELD_WITH_COLUMN_NAME; } else { } ."</textarea> <script type='text/javascript'> CKEDITOR.replace( '".$match."' ); </script> </div>"; I am getting the following error message in the browser: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_IF Please let me know if this is the right way to go about nesting an IF statement inside an echo. Thank you.
