I've been getting the following error when using the GET method to retrieve a file from a server:
Error: Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (Cocoa error 3840.)" (Invalid value around character 0.) UserInfo=0x16e81ed0 {NSDebugDescription=Invalid value around character 0.}
I've tried a number of different things and I believe it could be something to do with the JSON format on the file that I'm trying to get.
Here is the code I've been using:
_username = @"JonDoe";
NSDictionary *parameters = @{ @"username" : _username};
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializerWithReadingOptions:NSJSONReadingAllowFragments];
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:@"text/plain"];
[manager GET:@"http://.........."
parameters:parameters
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];
My POST method works fine. I just can't seem to fix this issue with the GET. Any ideas? Thank you.
Judging by the discussion in the comments it appears that your GET request is successful (response code 200), but the response body is not valid JSON (nor a JSON fragment) as you have requested by your use of AFJSONResponseSerializer
. A basic AFHTTPResponseSerializer
can be used for responses that are not JSON.
I am pretty sure that you have a valid response from server but your response is not a valid format in JSON, probably because you have carachters in front of first { .
Please try this: Put the same URL address manually in your browser and you will see the culprit in the response. Hope it helped.
Hey guys this is what I found to be my issue: I was calling Alamofire via a function to Authenticate Users: I used the function "Login User" With the parameters that would be called from the "body"(email: String, password: String) That would be passed
my errr was exactly:
optional(alamofire.aferror.responseserializationfailed(alamofire.aferror.responseserializationfailurereason.jsonserializationfailed(error domain=nscocoaerrordomain code=3840 "invalid value around character 0." userinfo={nsdebugdescription=invalid value around character 0
character 0 is the key here: meaning the the call for the "email" was not matching the parameters: See the code below
func loginUser(email: String, password: String, completed: @escaping downloadComplete) {
let lowerCasedEmail = email.lowercased()
let header = [
"Content-Type" : "application/json; charset=utf-8"
]
let body: [String: Any] = [
"email": lowerCasedEmail,
"password": password
]
Alamofire.request(LOGIN_USER, method: .post, parameters: body, encoding: JSONEncoding.default, headers: header).responseJSON { (response) in
if response.result.error == nil {
if let data = response.result.value as? Dictionary<String, AnyObject> {
if let email = data["user"] as? String {
self.userEmail = email
print(self.userEmail)
}
if let token = data["token"] as? String {
self.token_Key = token
print(self.token_Key)
}
"email" in function parameters must match the let "email" when parsing then it will work..I no longer got the error...And character 0 was the "email" in the "body" parameter for the Alamofire request:
Hope this helps
