I have a very similar problem like in Why the http post request body always wrapped by Optional text in the Swift app but I can´t apply the solution from this thread to my code, because I don´t have a request.setValue. Does anyone know what I need to do to get rid of the Optional? My Code:
@IBAction func LoginButtonTapped(sender: UIButton) {
let username = UsernameTextField.text
let password = PasswordTextField.text
if(username!.isEmpty || password!.isEmpty) {return; }
let request = NSMutableURLRequest (URL: NSURL(string: "http://myip/loginregister.php")!)
request.HTTPMethod = "POST"
let postString = "username=\(username)&password=\(password)"
request.HTTPBody = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)
let task = NSURLSession.sharedSession().dataTaskWithRequest(request) { data, response, error in
guard error == nil && data != nil else {
// check for fundamental networking error
print("error=\(error)")
return
}
let data = postString.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding, allowLossyConversion: false)!
do {
if let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data, options: []) as? NSDictionary {
let success = json["success"] as? Int // Okay, the `json` is here, let's get the value for 'success' out of it
print("Success: \(success)")
} else {
let jsonStr = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding) // No error thrown, but not NSDictionary
print("Error could not parse JSON: \(jsonStr)")
}
} catch let parseError {
print(parseError) // Log the error thrown by `JSONObjectWithData`
let jsonStr = NSString(data: data, encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding)
print("Error could not parse JSON: '\(jsonStr)'")
}
}
task.resume()
