Question

I need a simple example where we POST some HTTP request to the server. And also i need to add some headers to that HTTP post. I have tried posting the HTTP post, but little confused about adding headers in the request. Is there any mandatory field/HEADER i have to add in the HTTP Post ??

Answer 1

Suppose you have an NSURLRequest called theRequest.

You configure the request type to POST with

[theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

And for the headers, you add values to the Header you add them as key value pairs:

[theRequest setValue:authorizationString forKey:@"Authorization"];

which sets authorizationString for the Authorization header.
