macOS Upload pic from MAC using ASIHTTPRequest

saqibjaan · Aug 13, 2012

I am trying to upload jpg file from my Mac to a PHP website. I am using 3rd party library (ASIHTTPRequest) to upload a file. Here is the code.

Code:

-(void) upload
{

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:
				   
                  @"http://dashboard3.mobistealth.com:8080/bbUploadFile.php?
                                             type=rest&u=mobistealth-
                       [email]rest@mobistealth.com[/email]&p=9QhDuIZ65TWc&name=saqib"];
	

ASIFormDataRequest *request = [[[ASIFormDataRequest alloc] 
                                                  initWithURL:url] autorelease];
	
	[request setPostValue:@"fileName" forKey:@"318833423305784.jpg"];
	
	[request setFile:@"/Users/User/Documents/318833423305784.jpg"    
                                                 forKey:@"photo"];
	
	
	
	[request startSynchronous];
	
	NSError *error = [request error];
	
	if(!error)
	{
		NSString *response = [request responseString];
		NSLog(@"%@", response);
	}
	
	int statusCode = [request responseStatusCode];
	NSLog(@"%i", statusCode);
}

I get the following output and pic doesn't upload.

I don't know this library but I can see a couple problems off the bat.

[request setPostValue"fileName" forKey"318833423305784.jpg"];

This is backwards. filName should be the key and the actual file name should be the value.

I.e.

[request setPostValue

"318833423305784.jpg" forKey

"fileName"];

Also I'm fairly sure you're supposed to read the data into an NSData object and append that to your request. See the answers on this Stack Overflow thread for examples:
