Unable to add a header to NSMutableRequest - ios

Question

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:tempURL]] autorelease];
[request setValue:encryptedValue forHTTPHeaderField:#"EncString"];
I could spot all other headers in the request but this specific header is missing, can any one let me know what could be the reasons.

Answer 1

I have tried the following code:
NSString *tempURL = #"https://stackoverflow.com/questions/50701101/unable-to-add-a-header-to-nsmutablerequest";
NSString *encryptedValue = #"whatever_that_has_no_special_characters_or_values_that_would_make_you_think_it_is_relevant_to_reproduce_this_issue";
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:tempURL]];
[request setValue:encryptedValue forHTTPHeaderField:#"EncString"];
NSLog(#"%#", request.allHTTPHeaderFields);
The output is:
{
EncString = "whatever_that_has_no_special_characters_or_values_that_would_make_you_think_it_is_relevant_to_reproduce_this_issue";
}
which looks good. There is no reason to suspect the code you provided is responsible for the issue. Maybe you should check one of the following:
Is encryptedValue truly a valid object to be placed into header (is string, not too long, no very special characters)
Is the object you are printing really this specific request (printing NSLog(#"%p", request); returns same result)
In no place in this object a herder is being removed (if nothing else subclass NSMutableURLRequest and override relevant methods to track what is going on)
If none of these work create a post with additional details on what you have done, where are you checking these headers and "could spot all other headers".
