I am writing an HTTP Post request, but for some reason the parameters are not being added correctly, and I can't for the life of me figure out what I'm doing wrong. Here's what I have:
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalCacheData];
[request setHTTPShouldHandleCookies:NO];
[request setTimeoutInterval:30];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
NSString *boundary = @"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";
// set Content-Type in HTTP header
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"text; boundary=%@", boundary];
[request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
// post body
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
// Dictionary that holds post parameters.
NSMutableDictionary* _params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[_params setObject:subject forKey:@"subject"];
[_params setObject:message forKey:@"message"];
[_params setObject:[[UIDevice currentDevice] systemName] forKey:@"device"];
// add params
for (NSString *param in _params) {
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%@\"\r\n\r\n", param] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r\n", [_params objectForKey:param]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
// the server url
NSURL* requestURL = [NSURL URLWithString:CIVCManifest.contactFeed];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// setting the body of the post to the reqeust
[request setHTTPBody:body];
// set the content-length
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [body length]];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
// set URL
[request setURL:requestURL];
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
The request is getting through, however all the parameters are not being added properly. I had a Post script working that would upload a photo, and I copied and pasted most of it over to this one, but somehow this one is not working. Hopefully it's just a simple error I'm missing.
