In my iphone project, I need to pass member Id and pwd to a web server. I have tried my code with Synchronous as well as asynchronous request but I always get error : connection failed: Bad URL (null). can any one please help me to find what's wrong with the code?
My code:
NSString *post =[NSString stringWithFormat:#"memberId=%#&pwd=%#",txtUName.text,txtPwd.text];
NSLog(#"%#",post);
NSURL *url = [NSURL
URLWithString:#"http://testweb.talkfusion.com/videocenter/xlogin.asp%#"];
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding
allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
//set up the request to the website
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *data=[[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#",data);
NSLog(#"Connection failed! Error - %# %#",
[error localizedDescription],
[[error userInfo] objectForKey:NSURLErrorFailingURLStringErrorKey]);
The %# at the end in your url is wrong. POST-data are not part of the url.

Any suggestions? The code works perfectly with http but not https://. I wonder if it's the port. The certificate is valid. I get a "server pretending to be another server" error.
NSString *post=[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"strEmail=%#&strPassword=%#", [self.txtUsername text], [self.txtPassword text]];
NSLog(#"PostData%#", post);
// NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://dipinkrishna.com/jsonlogin.php"]; // does work
NSURL *url= [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://dev.myrdcm.com/felipe.asmx?op=GetSignIn”];// does not work
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%lu",(unsigned long)[postData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-fore-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSLog(#"%#",request);
NSError *error = [[NSError alloc] init];
NSHTTPURLResponse * response = nil;
NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
If you get a "server pretending to be another server" error, then certificate is not valid. I have opened yours url in browser and see that certificate is expired.
Im using codes posted here:
connection release method in connectionDidFinishLoading, causes error
now first execute returns didFail log.
second execute; returns old response data.
albeit my (localhost) server is totally offline.
and cachePolicy is NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed (check the code on the link I posted above)
NSMutableURLRequest *request=
[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url
cachePolicy:NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed timeoutInterval:3.0f];
the response data seems cached somewhere and still exists.
but if I use NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData //which is commented as -not implemented-
not returns old cache.
but if so what is the difference between:
NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringLocalAndRemoteCacheData
and
NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed
what shall I do ?
NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed refers to NSCachedURLResponse and is an value of enum NSURLCacheStoragePolicy. Since the cache policy of NSMutableURLRequest is also an enum (NSURLRequestCachePolicy) you just pass wrong int to the static method creating NSMutableURLRequest. In this case NSURLCacheStorageNotAllowed is just 2 which equals to NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad - and that is why you get old data.
Try This
NSString *Post = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"Post Parameters"];
NSURL *Url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"Url"];
NSData *PostData = [Post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [PostData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *Request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[Request setURL:Url];
[Request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[Request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[Request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[Request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[Request setHTTPBody:PostData];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *Result = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:Request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
if (!Result)
{
NSLog(#"Error");
}
else
{
//Parse the result
}
For some reason I always get Endpoint not found., but when I put it in the browser it works perfectly. I'm sure doing something wrong..
- (void)requestLoad:(NSString *)req_udid Age:(NSString *)req_age Gender:(NSString *)req_gender CheckBoxes:(NSString *)req_checkBoxes
{
NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/UpdatePersonalInterests/%#/%#/%#/%#/0",req_udid, req_age, req_gender, req_checkBoxes];
NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
//set up the request to the website
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:NSLocalizedStringFromTable(#"kServiceURL", #"urls", nil)]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *result = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#",result);
}
Thanks!
It looks like you are using a Custom Service scheme. Did you register it in Target -> info - URLS Types? See the Apple Docs or Registering custom URL Schemes: Implementing Custom URL Schemes
So I've managed to do this with NSURLConnection and asynchronous request with this code:
- (void)getIntrests
{
NSString *req_udid = [PROUtils createOrLoadUserIdentifier];
NSString *webaddress = [kServiceBaseURL stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"/GetPersonalInterestsForUdid/%#",req_udid]];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:webaddress] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:20];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue] completionHandler:
^(NSURLResponse* response, NSData* data, NSError* error) {
NSString* dataString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] postNotificationName:kGotMediaFromServer object:dataString];
NSLog(#"Update response completed: %# with data: %# error: %#",response,dataString,error);
}];
}
Hope that it will be useful for someone.
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
I'm unable to get this to work:
NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"userudid=%#", [udid stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSLog(#"%#",post);
NSData *postData = [NSData dataWithBytes:[post UTF8String] length:[post length]];
//[udid dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSLog(#"%#",postData);
//NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.myserver.com/myapp/readtags2.php"]];
[request setURL:url];
[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 *error;
NSData *urlData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request
returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *content = [NSString stringWithUTF8String:[urlData bytes]];
NSLog(#"responseData: %#", content);
is the POST formed correctly? Because i can get it to work from a manual html form posting to the same php file, but i get nothing back when doing it from iOS
You might have an easier time doing HTTP POST's with ASIHTTPRequest.
Form-Posting with ASIHTTPRequest is explained in the section titled "Sending a form POST with ASIFormDataRequest" here: http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/How-to-use
Otherwise, have a look at the NSURLResponse, check the response code and see if iOS thinks the POST was successful.
Other thing you can use to check is a tool like wireshark to compare the network traffic from your web-based form POST to the traffic from your iOS POST. It looks like you're doing it right, but the best way to be sure is something like wireshark.
