Answer 1

for AFHTTPRequestOperationManager

[requestOperationManager.requestSerializer setValue:@"your Content Type" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[requestOperationManager.requestSerializer setValue:@"no-cache" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Cache-Control"];

// Fill parameters
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"name"        : @"John",
                             @"lastName"    : @"McClane"};

// Customizing serialization. Be careful, not work without parametersDictionary
[requestOperationManager.requestSerializer setQueryStringSerializationWithBlock:^NSString *(NSURLRequest *request, NSDictionary *parameters, NSError *__autoreleasing *error) {

    NSData *jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters options:NSJSONWritingPrettyPrinted error:nil];
    NSString *argString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    return argString;
}];

[requestOperationManager POST:urlString parameters:parameters timeoutInterval:kRequestTimeoutInterval success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {

    if (success)
        success(responseObject);

} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {

    if (failure)
        failure(error);
}];
