how to upload an Image using alamofire with basic authentication? - ios

Question

I am trying to upload an image using alamofire 4.7.1 with this code, but to be honest I suspect that I didn't write a right code to upload the image
func uploadDefect(defectRemark: String, defectLocation: String, defectImage: UIImage, fileNameImage: String, completion: #escaping(_ errorMessage: String?) -> Void) {
guard let imgData = defectImage.jpeg(.medium) else {return}
let urlUpload = URLService.uploadDefect.endPoint
let username = "admin"
let password = "1234"
let credentialData = "\(username):\(password)".data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!
let base64Credentials = credentialData.base64EncodedString(options: [])
let headers = ["Authorization": base64Credentials]
let parameters : [String:Any] = ["defect_remark" : defectRemark, "defect_location": defectLocation, "tenant_id" : tenantID]
let url = try! URLRequest(url: URL(string: urlUpload)!, method: .post, headers: headers)
Alamofire.upload(
multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
multipartFormData.append(imgData, withName: "file", fileName: fileNameImage, mimeType: "image/jpeg")
for (key, value) in parameters {
multipartFormData.append("\(value)".data(using: String.Encoding.utf8)!, withName: key as String)
}
},
with: url,
encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
switch encodingResult {
case .success(let upload, _, _):
upload.responseJSON { response in
print("upload response: \(response)")
switch response.result {
case .failure(let error) :
let message : String
if let httpStatusCode = response.response?.statusCode {
switch(httpStatusCode) {
case 404:
message = "File not found"
case 500 :
message = "Internal Error"
default:
message = "Connection issue, please make sure you have a good internet access, or please contact IT Support."
}
} else {
message = error.localizedDescription
}
completion(message)
case .success( _) :
completion(nil)
}
}
case .failure(let encodingError):
let messageEncodingError = encodingError.localizedDescription
print(encodingError)
completion(messageEncodingError)
break
}
}
)
}
it seems that case .success is triggered
case .success( _) :
completion(nil)
}
but seems no error, but I didn't get the expected JSON response from the server.
here is the error log from the debugging area
I suspect that I didn't write a right code to upload the image server using alamofire using basic authentication. could you please help me with this one?

Answer 1

Change your Authorization like this:
let headers = ["Authorization": "Basic \(base64Credentials)"]
You can also make use of Alamofire to create the authentication header like:
var headers: HTTPHeaders = [:]
if let authorizationHeader = Request.authorizationHeader(user: user, password: password) {
headers[authorizationHeader.key] = authorizationHeader.value
}
