Question

Ok, so I have code that posts to my php site, but I want a way to make sure the data gets there. Is there way for the submision to hang intill it timesout or the server responds saying submission accepted?

Here is the code I have so far:

      //Create String
    NSString *var1 =@"waitTime=";
    NSString *var2 =@"&cover=";
    NSString *wait = [var1 stringByAppendingString:waitTime.text];
    NSString *co = [var2 stringByAppendingString:cover.text];


    NSMutableURLRequest *request = 
    [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:
     [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mysite.net/index.php"]];

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

    NSString *postString = [wait stringByAppendingString:co];

    [request setValue:[NSString 
                       stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postString length]] 
   forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-length"];

    [request setHTTPBody:[postString 
                          dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

You can get the status code as explained in this link

- (void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response{
   NSHTTPURLResponse* httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse*)response;
   int code = [httpResponse statusCode];
}

Status codes are defined at this link.

Following a POST command, this indicates success, but the textual part of the response line indicates the URI by which the newly created document should be known.

Update

If the connection times out, you should see this when the connection:didFailWithError: delegate method is called.
