AFNetworking2 send parameter as query string in POST request? - ios

Question

I need to send query string in URL as well as JSON in body while making POST request.To send query string in url i override HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI property as suggested in this thread on SO like
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:fullUrl]];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer.HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI = [NSSet setWithArray:#[#"POST", #"GET", #"HEAD", #"PUT", #"DELETE"]];
[manager POST:fullUrl parameters:param success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
but it seems doing this add my JSON data into URL as well, hence my request is not executed on server.But i need to send only 'command' parameter into url and some JSON data into request body.
my fullUrl string is looks like http://some_ip_address/config?command=some_command and param is NSDictionary object.
Note that there is a parameter in fullUrl i.e. command and i also send a NSDictionary object as param in
[manager POST:fullUrl parameters:param success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
Edit2: I also tried with NSURLSession
NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:[NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration] delegate:self delegateQueue:nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://my_server_ip/config?command=plugs"] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSError *error;
NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:param options:0 error:&error];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSURLSessionDataTask *postDataTask = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
}];
[postDataTask resume];
but get status code: 400 in NSURLResponse.
Edit3: someone suggested to subclass AFHTTPRequestSerializer class in this SO thread so i tried with
#implementation CustomAFHTTPRequestSerializer
-(id)init
{
self = [super init];
return self;
}
- (NSMutableURLRequest *)requestWithMethod:(NSString *)method
URLString:(NSString *)URLString
parameters:(NSDictionary *)parameters
error:(NSError *__autoreleasing *)error
{
NSString* encodedUrl = [URLString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:encodedUrl] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSError *error1;
NSData *postData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:parameters options:0 error:&error1];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request addValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept"];
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
return request;
}
#end
And assign it as requestSerializer of operationManager
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [[CustomAFHTTPRequestSerializer alloc] init];
But still get Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Request failed: bad request (400)
Please help me guys, Any help would be highly appreciated.
