Question

I am using ASIHTTPRequest, its working fine for posting dictionaries to the web service in the body

     ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
   [request setPostValue:@"Ben" forKey:@"first_name"];

but how can i use the

ASIFormDataRequest

to send a single string?

something like

   ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
   [request setPostValue:token];

no value and key,just a string in the body,

thanks!

If you want to send data via POST but prefer to create the POST body yourself, use appendPostData: or appendPostDataFromFile:. The code goes something like this –

ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request appendPostData:[@"This is my data" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];    
[request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];
