How do I set the data for a “PUT” request with AFNetworking?

Question

I have started to use AFNetworking and it works well when it gets to making simple \"GET\"-request. However now I am trying to do a \"POST\"-request. I use the code below to

Answer 1

I did not find any easy way to do this. But I did as recommended and created my own sub-class of AFHTTPClient. In the subclass I implemented the methods below. This makes it possible to perform both POST-request & PUT-requests with my own data.

- (void)postPath:(NSString *)path 
  parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters 
        data:(NSData*)data
     success:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject))success
     failure:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error))failure;
{
    NSURLRequest *request = [self requestWithMethod:@"POST" path:path     parameters:parameters data:data];
    AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [self HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:success failure:failure];
    [self enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
}

- (void)putPath:(NSString *)path 
     parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters 
           data:(NSData*)data
        success:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject))success
        failure:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error))failure;
{
    NSURLRequest *request = [self requestWithMethod:@"PUT" path:path parameters:parameters data:data];
    AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [self HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:success failure:failure];
[self enqueueHTTPRequestOperation:operation];
}

-(NSMutableURLRequest*)requestWithMethod:(NSString *)method 
                                    path:(NSString *)path 
                              parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters 
                                 data:(NSData*)data;
{
    NSMutableURLRequest* request = [super requestWithMethod:method 
                                                      path:path 
                                                parameters:parameters];

    [request setHTTPBody:data];

    return request;
}
