Question

am just starting off with restkit for ios. I have a very simple json response

{
“result”: [
{
“userid”: “5964”,
“name”: “Your Name”
}
]
}

This is a valid json (tested against jsonlint)

However, when i try to use this with RKClient, it doe’snt see it as json. This is my code

-(void) request:(RKRequest *)request didLoadResponse:(RKResponse *)response{

    if([request isGET]){
        if([response isJSON]){
            NSLog(@"JSON Response from Server %@", [response bodyAsString] );    
        }else{
            NSLog(@"Non JSON Response from Server %@", [response bodyAsString] );    
        }
    }

}

It always logs “Non JSON Reponse….” but the json is perfectly valid. The same thing happens when i use RKObjectMapping; the error will be “Unable to find parser for MIME Type text/xml.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Thanks

I was a bit dumb, but things got solved once i added

header('Cache-Control: no-cache, must-revalidate');
header('Expires: Mon, 26 Jul 1997 05:00:00 GMT');
header('Content-type: application/json');

to the server script.
