Question

This is the string I need to post http://www.mysite.com/save?details={“name”}

Iam trying the following code;

NSString *post =[NSString stringWithFormat:@”details={\”name\”}”];

NSString *hostStr = @"http://www.mysite.com/save?";
hostStr = [hostStr stringByAppendingString:post];
NSData *dataURL =  [NSData dataWithContentsOfURL: [ NSURL URLWithString: hostStr]];    
NSString *serverOutput = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:dataURL encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];

but the serverOutput always = null, unless i do just {name}. but i need the qutoes in there 🙁

You should convert everythign to valid HTTP symbols.

e.g.:

hostStr = [hostStr stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

…my guess is that your webserver is refusing your invalid URL.
