Code:
NSData *imgd=UIImageJPEGRepresentation(Obj.thumbImage, 0.5);
[imgName insertObject:Obj.imageName atIndex:i];
[imgName1 insertObject:imgd atIndex:i];
[dic setObject:imgName forKey:#"name"];
[dic setObject:imgName1 forKey:#"image"];
[asiLoadingFormRequest setPostValue:contactName forKey:#"receivername"];
[asiLoadingFormRequest setPostValue:[dic JSONRepresentation] forKey:#"imagedata"];
Is it correct to way sending images through json?When i call server i am getting following error message
"Error Domain=org.brautaset.JSON.ErrorDomain Code=1 \"Unsupported value for key image in object\" UserInfo=0x9a611f0 {NSUnderlyingError=0x9a4a290 \"JSON serialisation not supported for NSConcreteMutableData\", NSLocalizedDescription=Unsupported value for key image in object
Is it problem with Json that does not support for images?I have no idea about this problem.any help will be appreciated.thanks in advance.
Try this:
Encoding Part:
First Add Base64 class into your project.
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http:xxx.me.com/me.json"] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:100.0];
NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation ([UIImage imageWithContentsOfFile: #"ur PNG image path"]);
[Base64 initialize];
NSString *imageString = [Base64 encode:imageData];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"image_id",#"image_name","image",nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"22",#"myImageName.png",imageString,nil];
NSDictionary *jsonDictionary = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
NSError *error;
NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:jsonDictionary options:kNilOptions error:&error];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d",[jsonData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:jsonData];
NSURLConnection *theConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
For Decoding the same on the server side(if your using php) refer this.
You cannot send NSData as JSON, if you want to send an image over JSON you have to first encode it in Base64 and then decode it on the server
Take a look at this

thanks in Advance..
In my app, i have to upload an image to the server, below is my code. code is working properly, as i get the response but problem is that, on server side image is just black.
sessionid=[[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] valueForKey:#"SessionID"]objectAtIndex:0];
NSLog(#" ID = %#",sessionid);
NSData *da = [NSData data];
da = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.Profilepic);
NSString *imgStr = [da base64Encoding];
NSLog(#" %d", imgStr.length);
NSString *serverscriptpath=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://c4ntechnology.com/biker/web_services/ws_insert_register3.php?"];
NSString *post =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"profile_pic=%#&sessionid=%#",imgStr,sessionid];
NSLog(#"post string is :%#",post);
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:NO];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
NSLog(#"post length is :%#",postLength);
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
NSString *script_path=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",serverscriptpath];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:script_path]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSLog(#"%#",script_path);
NSData *serverReply = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString* responseString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:serverReply encoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
NSDictionary *dict = [responseString JSONValue];
NSLog(#"%#",dict);
[self ReceivedResponse:dict];
-(void)ReceivedResponse:(NSDictionary *)d
{
[AlertHandler hideAlert];
NSLog(#"%#",d);
}
please any one can help me to find out problem, that why on server image is black.?
i am using NSDatAdditions.h file for converting into base64.
when i am using
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(Profilepic, 1.0);
at server side, file is not supported occurring, so i used
NSData *da = [NSData data];
da = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.Profilepic);
You should try using NSUTF8StringEncoding instead of NSASCIIStringEncoding (unless you're sure that the web-server uses ASCII encoding).
If this doesn't work, I'd try the followings:
Encode image as base 64, and afterwards decode it and check if the result is ok.
If 1 passes, check exactly what the server receives (should be the same base64 string as you've sent, otherwise there's probably an issue with different encodings)
As a side note, da = [NSData data]; is useless, since you overwrite it right after, use directly NSData *da = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.Profilepic);
I am sending a JSON string to our server using the POST method. What should happen is that it should return a response showing "Array(JSON String) Array(JSON String)". The response contains two arrays: The first array is populated if I used the POST method, while the second array is populated if I use the GET method. I tried sending the JSON through GET method and indeed, the second array was populated. However, when I tried to send JSON through POST method, both arrays are returned empty.
Here is the code I used:
NSData *requestData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:sqlArray options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:&error];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://myurl/xmlrpc/imwebsrvcjson.php"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [requestData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:requestData];
NSData *result =[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:result encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
if (error == nil){
NSLog(#"The Result string: %#", returnString);
}
Can you tell me what is wrong with my code?
Here's what I do (please note that the JSON going to my server needs to be a dictionary with one value (another dictionary) for key = question..i.e. {:question => { dictionary } } ):
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults]valueForKey:#"StoreNickName"],
[[UIDevice currentDevice] uniqueIdentifier], [dict objectForKey:#"user_question"], nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"nick_name", #"UDID", #"user_question", nil];
NSDictionary *questionDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObject:questionDict forKey:#"question"];
NSString *jsonRequest = [jsonDict JSONRepresentation];
NSLog(#"jsonRequest is %#", jsonRequest);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://xxxxxxx.com/questions"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url
cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSData *requestData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonRequest UTF8String] length:[jsonRequest length]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [requestData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody: requestData];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if (connection) {
receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
}
The receivedData is then handled by:
NSString *jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *jsonDict = [jsonString JSONValue];
NSDictionary *question = [jsonDict objectForKey:#"question"];
This isn't 100% clear and will take some re-reading, but everything should be here to get you started. And from what I can tell, this is asynchronous. My UI is not locked up while these calls are made. Hope that helps.
i have this method -
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:appDelegate.UserID,itemName.text,#"1",#"1",itemDegem.text,itemDescription.text, nil];
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"userId",#"itemName",#"itemCategoryId",#"regionId",#"degemName",#"itemDescription", nil];
NSDictionary *registerDict = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
NSString *jsonRequest = [registerDict JSONRepresentation];
NSLog(#"jsonRequest is %#", jsonRequest);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.somedomain.com/method"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSData *requestData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonRequest UTF8String] length:[jsonRequest length]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [requestData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody: requestData];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if (connection) {
self.responseData = [NSMutableData data];
}
but when i send strings in my objects that not in english im getting error from the server.
now, i know its a UTF8 problem, but i did set it to be UTF8. can someone please help me figure it out ?
I think the error is strlen([jsonRequest UTF8String]) is not equal to [jsonRequest length].
Use NSData *requestData = [jsonRequest dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; to convert a NSString into NSData using UTF8 encoding.
I am trying to post data to a PHP web service.
I am familiar doing this in html using query $.post but I am very much stumped trying this in objective C.
I tried several blogs & questions found on stackoverflow.
I finally came up with the following code:
NSString *jsonRequest = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"{\"Email\":\"%#\",\"FirstName\":\"%#\"}",user,fname];
NSLog(#"Request: %#", jsonRequest);
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http:myurl..."];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
NSData *requestData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonRequest UTF8String] length:[jsonRequest length]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [requestData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody: requestData];
NSURLConnection *connection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
I also tried:
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
My web service creates a new user on post and returns the userID.
Both successfully make the web service call(a new userID is created), however they do not post the data, i.e. a blank user is created every time.
Please tell me if I am missing anything.
Thanks.
My other attempts:
NSMutableURLRequest *request =
[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:
[NSURL URLWithString:#"myUrl.. "]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *postString = #"Email=me#test.com&FirstName=Test";
[request setValue:[NSString
stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postString length]]
forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-length"];
[request setHTTPBody:[postString
dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[[NSURLConnection alloc]
initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
I finally solved the issue:
FInally, figured out what was wrong. I was using http://mypath?params=123 as my url. I did not gig the complete url(never needed it in other languages). But here I needed to give htt://mypath/index.php?params=123
I think you would be better off using the NSJSONSerialization class like this:
NSDictionary *tmp = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:
email, #"Email",
fname, #"FirstName",
nil];
NSError *error;
NSData *postdata = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:tmp options:0 error:&error];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
Using a dictionary and then converting it to JSON it's easier than creating it like a string.
Good luck!
[SWIFT 3.0] (update)
let tmp = ["email": email,
"FirstName": fname]
let postData = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: tmp, options: .prettyPrinted)
request.httpBody = postData
I have run your code, and server side receive all message.
POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: linux-test
User-Agent: demoTest/1.0 CFNetwork/548.1.4 Darwin/11.3.0
Content-Length: 44
Accept: application/json
Content-Type: application/json
Accept-Language: en
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive
{"Email":"test#test.com","FirstName":"test"}
And follow code, if jsonRequest has Non-ASCII characters， the [jsonRequest length] will be wrong.
NSData *requestData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonRequest UTF8String] length:[jsonRequest length]];
You can use strlen instead.
NSData *requestData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[jsonRequest UTF8String] length:strlen([jsonRequest UTF8String])];
or
[jsonRequest dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
Try this one
NSData *requestData = [jsonRequest dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#posts", SeverURL]];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setRequestMethod:#"POST"];
[request addRequestHeader:#"content-type" value:#"application/json"];
[request addRequestHeader:#"User-Agent" value:#"iOS"];
request.allowCompressedResponse = NO;
request.useCookiePersistence = NO;
request.shouldCompressRequestBody = NO;
request.delegate=self;
NSString *json=[[self prepareData] JSONRepresentation];//SBJSON lib, convert a dict to json string
[request appendPostData:[NSMutableData dataWithData:[json dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]];
[request startSynchronous];
I'm making a HTTP Post and I would like to know how to convert the response to NSDictionary, or NSArray. Here's my code:
NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat: #"SomeData=text", text];
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://www.my.site/receiver"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError *err;
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&err];
EDIT:
The response looks like this after converting like this:
NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

You need to use some kind of parser for that. If the response is in XML you could use NSXMLParser. Here you can find a tutorial on how to use it. The same concept applies for any other kind of data. You have to know beforehand what to expect so you can parse it properly.
I hope it helps
