AFNetworking 2.0 and GET Request parameters - ios

I have a question about AFNetworking 2.0
I have to make a GET request like this:
http://myhost.come/entity?language=en&query=$UserId=14 and $EntityCreationDate>'2014-09-01'
How to generate the Dictionary parameters for this request?
In particular I not understand how can I build this: and $EntityCreationDate>'2014-09-01'

Here I found a good tutorial.
Which states a simple GET request can be sent like this:
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://samwize.com/"]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient requestWithMethod:#"GET"
path:#"http://samwize.com/api/pigs/"
parameters:nil];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[httpClient registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFHTTPRequestOperation class]];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
// Print the response body in text
NSLog(#"Response: %#", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[operation start];

How to parse a response obtained with AFNetworking 1.0 using JSON format

I'm having a problem with AFNetworking.
Currently I can send a POST request in JSON format [AFJSONParameterEncoding] using NSDictionary to a server and it correctly replies, the problem is that the server replies with a JSON formatted response too, response I'm able to convert to NSString using:
[[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// responseObject is the server response
The problem is I'm not able to transform the response in any other format, other than NSString like in the code posted before. How can that be possible? I would like to convert the response to JSON format so I can read a precise value, the value associated with the key "isInformative"
Here's my code so far:
NSDictionary *requestBody = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"value1", #"key1",
#"value2", #"key2",
nil];
NSDictionary *requestHead = #{
#"RequestHead": requestBody
};
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:XXXX"]];
[httpClient setParameterEncoding:AFJSONParameterEncoding];
[httpClient registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFHTTPRequestOperation class]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient requestWithMethod:#"POST"
path:#"/public-mobile-sdk/"
parameters:requestHead];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[requestOperation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation, id responseObject) {
// Here I can convert the responseObject to NSSTring correctly
NSLog(#"Response: %#", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[requestOperation start];
Note - I can't update the AFNetworking version bundled in the Xcode project since it's not my own, so sadly I must stick and use version 1.X
This solved my problem:
AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:jailbreakRequest];
[requestOperation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation, id responseObject) {
//Place this line of code below to create a NSDictionary from the async server response
NSDictionary *jsonList = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:responseObject options:NSJSONReadingMutableContainers error:nil];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *requestOperation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[requestOperation start];
Thanks anyway :-)

iOS connect to Magento using OAuth

I am trying to connect to Magento REST with OAuth authentication on iOS. I already have: consumer_key, consumer_secret, token, token_secret and the url. With Chrome Rest Client I can connect without problems but in iOS using OAUthiOS library I can not. This library has some example to authenticate to Facebook and Twitter but what I need is to connect to my rest services.
What I have tried so far:
NSString *key = #"Authorization";
NSString *value = #"OAuth realm="http://www.myweb.com/",oauth_consumer_key="xxxx",oauth_token="yyyyy",oauth_nonce="zzzz",oauth_signature_method="HMAC-SHA1",oauth_timestamp="1111111",oauth_version="1.0",oauth_signature="wwwwww"";
request = [[OAuthIORequest alloc] init];
[request addHeaderWithKey:key andValue:value];
[request get:PRODUCTS_SERVICE success:^(NSDictionary *output, NSString *body, NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse)
{
NSLog(#"body %#", body);
}];
But nothing happend. What should I do? Is there any framework better?
Thanks!
I have resolved this issue using another framework: AFNetworking and AFOAuth1Client instead of OAUthiOS.
AFOAuth1Client * client = [[AFOAuth1Client alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BASE_URL] key:CONSUMER_KEY secret:CONSUMER_SECRET];
[client setOauthAccessMethod:#"GET"];
[client setSignatureMethod:AFHMACSHA1SignatureMethod];
[client setDefaultHeader:#"Accept" value:#"application/json"];
[client setAccessToken:[[AFOAuth1Token alloc] initWithKey:TOKEN secret:TOKEN_SECRET session:nil expiration:nil renewable:FALSE]];
NSMutableURLRequest * request =[client requestWithMethod:#"GET" path:PRODUCTS_SERVICE parameters:nil];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[client registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFHTTPRequestOperation class]];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Response: %#", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[operation start];

AFNetworking 2 POST with Authentication challenge

Im using AFNetworking 2, with AFHTTPRequestOperation I can use for my Get
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
operation.securityPolicy = securityPolicy;
[operation setWillSendRequestForAuthenticationChallengeBlock:
^(NSURLConnection *connection, NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *challenge) {
//the certificate
}
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
DLog(#"operation :: %#", responseObject);
NSString *result = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseObject encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
DLog(#"operation :: %#", result);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
DLog(#"operation error :: %#", error);
}];
[operation start];
But now i need to use POST, with parameters,
I have problems finding how to set parameters on
AFHTTPRequestOperation
or finding how to set challenge block for
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager
how to have a POST with parameters and challenge block?
cheers
I am working now on the POST request. So far I've came up with the following code while trying to send an NSDictionary with POST method:
NSDictionary*packet = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys: ......
[manager POST:path
parameters:packet
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
if ([responseObject isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]])
[self parseReceivedDataPacket:responseObject];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
Actually it works for me, apart from getting an "unacceptable content-type: text/html" when sending this data. But it gets received.
Hope this was useful.

AFNetworking 2.0 - mutable json

My code currently looks like this
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:URLForSend];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]
initWithRequest:request];
operation.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSLog(#"%#", responseObject);
[BoxJsonDataHelper gotNewJson:responseObject];
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"Request Failure Because %#",[error userInfo]);
}];
[operation start];
But when trying to edit dictionaries in object received, I get an error about using methods that belongs to a mutable dictionary rather than a dictionary.
How do I make AFNetworking use nested mutable objects instead?
You tell the AFJSONResponseSerializer that it needs to return mutable containers:
operation.responseSerializer =
[AFJSONResponseSerializer serializerWithReadingOptions: NSJSONReadingMutableContainers]
It is all very well documented: http://cocoadocs.org/docsets/AFNetworking/2.0.0/

PUT Method Using AFNetworking

i want to implement afnetworking with put request, but it always shows error when i run it.
it works fine with post method, but when i change it to PUT it shows error.
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:urls];
[httpClient defaultValueForHeader:#"Accept"];
NSDictionary *params = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
#"345", #"page_id",
#"john",#"username",
nil];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient requestWithMethod:#"PUT"
path:#""
parameters:params];
//Add your request object to an AFHTTPRequestOperation
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc]
initWithRequest:request];
[httpClient registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFHTTPRequestOperation class]];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:
^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation,
id responseObject) {
NSString *response = [operation responseString];
NSLog(#"response: [%#]",response);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#", [operation error]);
}];
//call start on your request operation
[operation start];
the error says:
Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Expected status code in (200-299), got 404" UserInfo=0x75a9d40 {NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion={"status":false,"error":"Unknown method."}
