How to post a image using AFNetworking.i am using below code to post an image.but image is not uploading to server.After posting image i am getting this link in result "http://thisisswitch.com:8084/SmartSwitchService/UserImages/69684177-4601-4665-8890-5424e3fbff73.png".
Can anyone tell me what the problem in code ?
Here is my Code:
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:BaseUrl]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:#"POST" path:posturl parameters:nil constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
[formData appendPartWithFormData:imgData name:#"image"];
}];
[httpClient registerHTTPOperationClass:[AFHTTPRequestOperation class]];
AFJSONRequestOperation *operation = [AFJSONRequestOperation JSONRequestOperationWithRequest:request success:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, id JSON) {
NSDictionary *dict = (NSDictionary *)JSON;
} failure:^(NSURLRequest *request, NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSError *error, id JSON) {
}];
[operation start];

From the Github read me:
NSURLSessionConfiguration *configuration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];
AFURLSessionManager *manager = [[AFURLSessionManager alloc] initWithSessionConfiguration:configuration];
NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://example.com/upload"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
NSURL *filePath = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:#"file://path/to/image.png"];
NSURLSessionUploadTask *uploadTask = [manager uploadTaskWithRequest:request fromFile:filePath progress:nil completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, id responseObject, NSError *error) {
if (error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
} else {
NSLog(#"Success: %# %#", response, responseObject);
}
}];
[uploadTask resume];

Here's how I'm doing it (in AFNetworking 2.x):
- (void)requestWithFormData:(void (^)(id <AFMultipartFormData> formData))formBlock
withParams:(NSDictionary *)params
webservicePath:(NSString *)webservicePath
success:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id jsonDictionary))successBlock
failure:(void (^)(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error))failureBlock
{
// Handle request for file upload
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [self.manager POST:webservicePath
parameters:params
constructingBodyWithBlock:formBlock
success:success
failure:failureBlock];
[op start];
}
Then I use it as per the following:
void (^formBlock)(id <AFMultipartFormData> formData) = ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData)
{
NSData *data1 = UIImagePNGRepresentation(profileImage);
[formData appendPartWithFileData:data1 name:#"file" fileName:#"picture.png" mimeType:#"image/png"];
};
[networkingUtil requestWithFormData:formBlock
withParams:params
webservicePath:#"myserver.com/upload"
success:successBlock
failure:failureBlock];
Your server should handle the form data and look for file.
