I'm using AFNetworking to post json data to my webservice and get a json response back. However now I also want to add multipart formdata to these POST's. If I do this (even without the parameters I added first) the completion block never fires. The progress block DOES fire and I can see that the file uploads correctly.
Does anybody have any experience posting images like this with AFNetworking? I am using the latest AFNetworking source / version.
This is my initial code for posting a dictionary with json in it. This works fine.
NSMutableDictionary *postdata = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[postdata setObject:[postdictionary JSONString] forKey:@"request"];
NSMutableURLRequest *jsonRequest = [httpClient requestWithMethod:@"POST"
path:path
parameters:postdata];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:jsonRequest success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {// Success} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {// Failure }];
[operation start];
This is the version of the code for submitting an image (doesn't work)
NSMutableURLRequest *jsonRequest jsonRequest = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:path parameters:postdata constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:@"photo" fileName:@"photo.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
[formData throttleBandwidthWithPacketSize:5000 delay:0.1];
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:jsonRequest];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSUInteger bytesWritten, long long totalBytesWritten, long long totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
NSLog(@"Sent %lld of %lld bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
}];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"Upload succes");
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Upload failed");
}];
[operation start];
