Asynchronous Audio file upload with iOS

Question

is there a way to upload an audiofile to my server asynchronously? I implemented it synchronously using the NSURLConnection class already.

Maybe you could also give me a short code example.

Thanks,

It's 2015. iOS 9.1 was just released. AFNetworking has become the most popular library for handling HTTP requests. It supports asynchronous file uploads. Here's an example:

NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];

NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://example.com/upload"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];

NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"file://path/to/image.png"];
NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask = [manager uploadTaskWithRequest:request fromFile:filePath progress:nil completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {
    if (error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
    } else {
        NSLog(@"Success: %@ %@", response, responseObject);
    }
}];
[uploadTask resume];

You absolutely have to use ASIHttpRequest.

It is astoundingly easy - it's the most popular library on all of iOS.

Just select the "asynchronous" mode.

It is almost impossibly easy to use. Basically just type in the URL.

It's stunning news that Ben no longer does ASIHttpRequest !

The NSURLConnection will allow you to upload the file asynchronously as well. There are delegate methods that will be called you on your class . Use the NSMutableURLRequest to create your upload request the follow the following guide.
