Answer 1

If the Web server detects that the data it wants to return is not
acceptable to the client, it returns a header containing the 406 error
code. This error occurs very infrequently in Web browsers, because most browsers will accept any data returned from the Web server.
Looks like the server is not recognized that you are mobile etc...

Answer 2

This is a very old question, BUT:
You need to read the response data send by the server, the "0a7b2273..." part.
There, if you do:
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:thatData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
You'll see that the value is (it's JSON, I just linted it):
{
"status": "0",
"data": {
"name": "Username cannot be longer than 60 characters but is currently 201 characters long.",
"mail": "The e-mail address <UITextField: 0x8dbc0b0; frame = (57 154; 153 30); text = 'deepaksood#deepak.com'; clipsToBounds = YES; opaque = NO; autoresize = RM+BM; gestureRecognizers = <NSArray: 0x8f6e8a0>; layer = <CALayer: 0x8daeee0>> is not valid."
}
}
Your error was that in:
[params setValue:self.txtUserName forKey:#"name"];
self.txtEmail is a UITextField, not the textField.text. So, it was either self.txtEmail.text, or at some point, you wrote self.txtEmail = textField instead of self.txtEmail = textField.text. I guess this was also the case for the userName.
• So, after so much time, what's the thing that can still be applied nowadays:
Read the returned value! If might contain useful information on why it failed. When debugging, grab as much info as possible: HTTP Code, values send/read/received, etc.
