nsurlrequest

Is there any way to add HTTP header to NSURLRequest object? I used to add them in NSMutableURLRequest using: [request addValue:@"PC" forHTTPHeaderField:@"machineName"] I don't think you can modify the HTTP Headers of a NSURLRequest . I think you're trying to modify a NSURLRequest object that you didn't initialize? You could create a mutableCopy of your request and then set the header fields with the following method: -(void)setValue:(NSString *)value forHTTPHeaderField:(NSString *)field. After that you can copy the mutable request back onto your NSURLRequest variable. EDIT : Added example

The following code successfully connects to my Ruby on Rails API and returns JSON using AFNetworking. What do I need to do to edit this to pass in a username and password so my API can use HTTP Basic Authentication? I've read their documentation, but I am new to both Objective-C and AFNetworking and it isn't currently making sense. NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://localhost:3000/tasks.json"]; NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url]; AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^

I'm trying to request this kind of URL in iPhone 4.0 SDK (access token slightly modified because you don't really need to see it): https://graph.facebook.com/me?sdk=ios&sdk_version=2&access_token=123902817987|8cb9e8408d2685cef853cd80.9-747882379|UGu5NvcAHiXuGEGzkq&format=json&limit=40&until=1286619821 But I got this message: Failed with error: Error Domain=NSURLErrorDomain Code=-1000 "bad URL" UserInfo=0x9e657a0 {NSUnderlyingError=0x9e656a0 "bad URL", NSLocalizedDescription=bad URL} When I copied and pasted in Safari or Chrome, it works. I tried replacing | with %| as suggested here but doesn

First of all, I'm pretty sure that I have checked every answer here and nothing does what I would like to do. In this question, for answer is given ASIHTTPRequest which is dead project. ( How do I download an entire webpage (with images) on the iPhone? ) In this question, user proposed RNCachingURLProtocol which is really great but I had a few problems after closing app completely (closing it in task-bar). After that I didn't get css or images, only html was loaded. ( Cache a single webpage for use when offline in Xcode / UIWEBVIEW ). There are few more answers but none is good. There must be

I want to add 2 parameters to NSURLRequest . Is there a way or should I use AFnetworking? It will probably be easier to do if you use AFNetworking. If you have some desire to do it yourself, you can use NSURLSession , but you have to write more code. If you use AFNetworking, it takes care of all of this gory details of serializing the request, differentiating between success and errors, etc.: NSDictionary *params = @{@"firstname": @"John", @"lastname": @"Doe"}; AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager]; [manager POST:urlString parameters:params success:^

In iOS (current target 5.0, Base SDK 5.1) how can I send a post request to a server, and then read the contents of the page. For example, the page takes a username and password, and then echos true or false. This is just for a better understanding of NSURLRequest. Thanks in Advance! A few things first Decide how you want to encode your data - JSON or url-encoding are a good start. Decide upon a return value - will it be 1, TRUE or 0, FALSE, or even YES/non-nil nothing/nil. Read up on the URL Loading System , it's your friend. Aim to make all your url connections asynchronous so your UI remains

I'm POST'ing a small image, so i'd like the timeout interval to be short. If the image doesn't send in a few seconds, it's probably never going to send. For some unknown reason my NSURLConnection is never failing, no matter how short I set the timeoutInterval . // Create the URL request NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.tumblr.com/api/write"] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:0.00000001]; /* Populate the request, this part works fine */ [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate

I would like to know how do I get a return value 1 or 0 only.... back from an URL request asynchronously. currently I do it in this way: NSString *UTCString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://web.blah.net/question/CheckQuestions?utc=%0.f",[lastUTCDate timeIntervalSince1970]]; NSLog(@"UTC String %@",UTCString); NSURL *updateDataURL = [NSURL URLWithString:UTCString]; NSString *checkValue = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:updateDataURL encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding error:Nil]; NSLog(@"check Value %@",checkValue); this works, however it is blocking my main thread till I got a reply back from
