Question

The URL is written properly, I tested it in the browser with data and it sends properly, but when I make the request, it returns that it is successful, but it does not actually write the data. Any idea?

- (void)writeAboutMe:(NSString *)about withIcebreaker:(NSString *)icebreaker 
{
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://nailorbail.net63.net/submit_about_and_icebreaker.php?username=%@&about=%@&icebreaker=%@",[SignInViewController getUsernameString] ,about,icebreaker];
NSLog(@"%@",urlString);
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Current-Type"];
NSURLConnection *conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if(conn)
    NSLog(@"Connection Successful");
else
    NSLog(@"Connection could not be made");
[conn release];
}

It could be an encoding issue. What kinds of characters are in getUsernameString, about, and icebreaker? As Maudicus mentioned, you need to handle special characters in the URL yourself.

Try:

urlString = [urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]
