GET request, iOS - ios

Question

I need to do this GET request:
http://api.testmy.co.il/api/sync?BID=1049&ClientCode=3847&Discount=2.34&Service=0&Items=[{"Name":"Tax","Price":"2.11","Quantity":"1","SerialID":"1","Remarks":"","Toppings":""}]&Payments=[]
In browser I get this response:
{
"Success": true,
"Atava": [],
"Pending": [],
"CallWaiter": false
}
But in iOS its not working.
I try:
NSString *requestedURL=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.testmy.co.il/api/sync?BID=%i&ClientCode=%i&Discount=2.34&Service=0&Items=[{\"Name\":\"Tax\",\"Price\":\"2.11\",\"Quantity\":\"1\",\"SerialID\":\"1\",\"Remarks\":\"\",\"Toppings\":\"\"}]&Payments=[]",BID,num];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:requestedURL];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *GETReply = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:nil];
NSString *theReply = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes:[GETReply bytes] length:[GETReply length] encoding: NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(#"Reply: %#", theReply);
OR
NSString *requestedURL = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.testmy.co.il/api/sync?BID=%i&ClientCode=%i&Discount=2.34&Service=0&Items=[{'Name':'Tax','Price':'2.11','Quantity':'1','SerialID':'1','Remarks':'','Toppings':''}]&Payments=[]", BID, num];
OR
NSMutableDictionary *params = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
[params setObject:#"Tax" forKey:#"Name"];
[params setObject:#"2.11" forKey:#"Price"];
[params setObject:#"1" forKey:#"Quantity"];
[params setObject:#"1" forKey:#"SerialID"];
[params setObject:#"" forKey:#"Remarks"];
[params setObject:#"" forKey:#"Toppings"];
NSData *jsonData = nil;
NSString *jsonString = nil;
if([NSJSONSerialization isValidJSONObject:params])
{
jsonData = [NSJSONSerialization dataWithJSONObject:params options:0 error:nil];
jsonString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:jsonData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#", jsonString);
}
NSString *get = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"&Items=%#", jsonString];
NSData *getData = [get dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
[request setTimeoutInterval:8];
[request setHTTPBody:getData];
[request setValue:#"application/json;charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
I tried all above code but it doesn't work(long time out.. just stuck on this).How to fixing this?

Answer 1

This is because your URL is not correct, this string should add percent escape. Try with this:
NSString *requestedURL=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://api.testmy.co.il/api/sync?BID=%i&ClientCode=%i&Discount=2.34&Service=0&Items=[{'Name':'Tax','Price':'2.11','Quantity':'1','SerialID':'1','Remarks':'','Toppings':''}]&Payments=[]",BID,num];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[requestedURL stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//and you use this url

Answer 2

// Send a synchronous request
NSURLRequest * urlRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"enter your url here"]];
NSURLResponse * response = nil;
NSError * error = nil;
NSData * data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:urlRequest
returningResponse:&response
error:&error];
if (error == nil)
{
// Parse data here
}
The NSURLResponse and NSError vars are passed into the sendSynchronousReqeust method so when it returns, they will be populated with the raw response and error (if any). If you need to check for stuff like response codes you can do so via the “response” variable you pass.
