AFNetworking PUT and Delete with Rails - ruby-on-rails-3

Question

In looking at the AFNetworking documentation, the Put and Delete methods take in a path and a dictionary of parameters. I am using Rails as my backend which expects these two types to take the form of Put /object/1.json and Delete /object/1.json. Should I build up a path string by adding in the Id or do I send a Put or Delete with the Id as one of the params in the Dictionary?

Answer 1

Typically when I do with PUT and similar type HTTP requests when using AFNetworking is something like this:
// Create an HTTP client with your site's base url
AFHTTPClient *client = [AFHTTPClient clientWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://example.com"]];
// Setup the other parameters you need to pass
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"username" : #"bob", #"password" : #"123456"};
// Create a NSURLRequest using the HTTP client and the path with your parameters
NSURLRequest *request = [client requestWithMethod:#"PUT" path:#"object/1.json" parameters:parameters];
// Create an operation to receive any response from the server
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
// Do stuff
} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
// Handle error
}];
// Begin the operation
[operation start];
If you look in AFHTTPClient.h there are examples for how to format your base url and your paths. There's more information on these methods in the AFNetworking documentation
