Question

I’m trying to use ASIFormDataRequest with the following code:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: urlString];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request addPostValue:@"json" forKey:@"json"];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startAsynchronous];

The code keeps crashing at the [request addPostValue:@"json" forKey:@"json"]; line. I’ve also tried setPostValue:forKey: with the same result. If I comment out the addPostValue:forKey: line, the request goes through (I can see it on the server), but of course there is no json data.

I’ve simplified the problem down by passing in the string json for the value. That will actually be my json formatted string once I figure out this problem.

Here’s the stack trace:

Answer 1

The answer is simple, you have to use:

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];

And you are using,

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];

just change that, and it will work.

Always make sure you are initializing your objects with the correct Class consturctor.
