Question

I am try to sync or upload the data on the remote server from iPhone but not getting it. I try this from 1 week but didn’t succeed.
How can solve this. I am using the NSURLConnection methods or any one give idea on
ASIHTTPRequest method but I am new for ASIHTTPRequest. I need this method only for this code:

- (void)sendRequestforContent
{   
    //this for finding the date of sync on the server
    NSDate* date = [NSDate date];
    //Create the dateformatter object
    NSDateFormatter* formatter = [[[NSDateFormatter alloc] init] autorelease];
    //Set the required date format
    [formatter setDateFormat:@"dd-MMM-yyyy"];
    //Get the string date
    NSString* str = [formatter stringFromDate:date];

    NSError *error = nil; 

    NSHTTPURLResponse *response = nil; 
    NSMutableData *postBody = [NSMutableData data];
    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.google.com"]; 

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url]; 

    NSString *boundary = @"-------------------a9d8vyb89089dy70"; 

    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@", boundary]; 

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; 

    [request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

    [postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    //this is for TOKEN_API
    [postBody appendData:[@"Content-disposition: form-data; name=\"Token\"\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    [postBody appendData:[tokenapi dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    [postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    //this for the CONTENT_ID
    [postBody appendData:[@"Content-disposition: form-data; name=\"contentID\"\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    [postBody appendData:[content_id dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; 

    [postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    //this for the CONTENTTYPE_ID

    [request setHTTPBody:postBody];

    NSData *shoutData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];

    NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:shoutData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"%@", returnString);
}

It is not going into the this methods

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection 
{      
    loginStatus = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes: [webData mutableBytes] length:[webData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; 
    NSLog(@"%@", loginStatus);  
} 

It show me HTML page on console.

Answer 1

NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc] initWithString:@"http://192.168.0.1:96/JourneyMapperAPI?RequestType=Content&Command=New"];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];

NSMutableData *postBody;//Here comes your data that you have created in the question
NSString *msgLength = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:@"%d", [postBody length]];//use either [postBody length] or [postBody bytes], I am not sure about it

ASIFormDataRequest *serverRequest = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[serverRequest addRequestHeader:@"Content-Type" value:@"text/xml; charset=utf-8"];
[serverRequest addRequestHeader:@"Content-Length" value:msgLength];
[serverRequest appendPostData:postBody];
[serverRequest setDelegate:self];
[serverRequest setDidFinishSelector:@selector(sendAlertsRequestDone:)];
[serverRequest setDidFailSelector:@selector(sendAlertsRequestWentWrong:)];
[serverRequest setUploadProgressDelegate:progressView];// here progressView is UIProgressbar
[serverRequest startAsynchronous];

[urlString release];
[url release];
[postBody release];
[msgLength release];
