I've put together this code from lots of research.
Information on the twitpic API is here: Twitpic - Share photos on Twitter
Through debugging i can tell that the dictionary is good, and that it gets through all the methods, the request gets submitted, but then the NSLog method returns <>.
I'm not sure where I could be going wrong, i don't know much about the multipart/form-data structure. Maybe I'm doing something wrong with my connection?
Code below.
The NSURLRequest part
