You can't convert directly from an NSString to NSMutableData, you have to encode the string as NSData first. (There are several ways to go from NSData to NSMutableData, but I think mutableCopy is the clearest.);

Try this:

NSString *yourString  = @"Your string text";
NSData *data = [yourString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableData *body = [data mutableCopy];
