method execute failure block ios - ios

I have been using AFHTTPClient class' postPath:parameters:success:failure: method. but it always call failure block only. I have been using AFNetworking 0.10 library. Can anyone tell me the possible reasons for this.
following is the code:
NSURL *nsUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:kURLAuthLogin];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:nsUrl];
[httpClient postPath:nil parameters:loginParams success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"\n\n\n\n\n\n login success \n\n\n\n\n\n");
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"\n\n\n\n\n\n login failed \n\n\n\n\n\n");
}];
There is no any problem with nsUrl or any other variable for sure.

What happened is that your login failed.
It would be common sense to
NSLog (#"%#", error);
to get the information you are looking for.

did you made your NSString to support NSURL with adding percentage.
example:-
NSString *loginCredential=[#"Your Url with login and password" stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

iOS: manage a AFHTTPRequestOperationManager

In my app I should download some JSON files, then I store these URL in a plist as you ca see in my code. After I create an 'AFHTTPRequestOperationManager' and I create a loop where I add some operation for the numbers of my 'url_list'.
NSString* plistPath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:#"url_json" ofType:#"plist"];
NSArray *url_list = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfFile:plistPath];
self.manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
for (id element in url_list){
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:element];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
op.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
[op setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[self.manager.operationQueue addOperation:op];
}
Now this code should be fine, but I want to have two information:
what's the way to know the progress value of my 'manager'?, because I want to know the state of all operation in a single progress value
I want to know when an operation finish, because when an operation finish I should pass 'responseObject' to a method that parse this data
Can you help me?
Take a look at AFNetworking batching documentation:
https://github.com/AFNetworking/AFNetworking#batch-of-operations
It gives you an option to assign progress block which is called on single operation completion and on top of that you can assign completion block which will be called when all operations are completed.
If you need you can still assign completion block to single operation to parse responseObjects.

Multiple AFHTTPClient Request

I've got subclass of AFHTTPClient
The main idea is that i call all API through my singleton of AFHTTPClient subclass, and all requests goes through 1 points for error handling and HUD displaying.
This is entry point for every API calls:
-(void) makeRequestWithPath:(NSString*) path andParams:(NSDictionary*) params
success:(void (^)( id JSON, AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation)) success
failure:(void (^)( NSError *error)) failure
And i've got many methods for API calls something like that:
-(void) getListMainTreeWithSuccess:(void (^)( id JSON, AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation)) success
failure:(void (^)( NSError *error)) failure
{
[self makeRequestWithPath:#"objects/selectlist" andParams:nil success:^(id JSON, AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation) {
success(JSON,operation);
} failure:^(NSError *error) {
failure(error);
}];
}
This works just fine for my needs. But i faced problem that i need to make serial request in loop through my AFHTTPClient subclass and make some action when all of them are finished , I found method
-(void)enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperationsWithRequests:(NSArray *)urlRequests
progressBlock:(void (^)(NSUInteger numberOfFinishedOperations, NSUInteger totalNumberOfOperations))progressBlock
completionBlock:(void (^)(NSArray *operations))completionBlock
which should solve my issue, but the problem is that i call all methods through AFHTTPClient and it's methods getPath: and postPath: and previous way forces me to rewrite everything and makes my subclass completely useless, because I need to add there NSArray of AFHTTPRequestoperation, which is not possible to construct or extract from my subclass and my methods. Previously i tried to use __block 's to synchronise requests with semaphore and something else but i failed to get what i need, please help me!
UPDATE:
It seems that it is not possible to even use enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperations method (even with rewriting all my code) because this method needs array of http request operations, but it's not possible to construct POST request with them.
I solved this with an increment/decrement pending download system and tied the HUD to that.
[networkStatus beginNetworkActivity];
[client someRESTActionWithCompletion:^(id object, NSError *error) {
[networkStatus endNetworkActivity];
if (error) {
// Handle the error ...
}
if (![networkStatus hasNetworkActivity]) {
// All downloads have finished
}
}];
I keep the network status object separate which from the AFHTTPClient subclass, but it can be built into the client if that's what you want.
Network status keeps an internal counter. -beginNetworkActivity increments the counter, if the counter was 0, then it displays a HUD. -endNetworkActivity decrements the counter, if the counter becomes 0, then it dismisses the HUD. -hasNetworkActivity returns YES if the counter greater than 0.
Other Notes: I combine the success and failed callbacks into a single completion callback. I keep the network status logic separate from the client because sometime I'll use a singleton network status object, sometimes I'll use a created instance, sometimes I won't use one at all. It all depends on the needs to the higher level logic.
Again, as #MikePollard said, create AFHTTPRequestOperation using
[AFHHTPClient HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:success:failure:]
For this method create NSURLRequest using (or use another one, pick which one is suitable for you). Here you can also specify, which method to use POST, GET or any other.
[AFHTTPClient requestWithMethod:
path:
parameters:]
After that save all operation to an NSArray, and schedule them using:
[AFHTTPClient enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperationsWithRequests:
progressBlock:
completionBlock:]
Code example:
NSMutableArray *ops = [NSMutableArray new];
NSMutableURLRequest *request1 = [[AFHTTPClient sharedClient] requestWithMethod:#"GET"
path:#"MyEndpoint"
parameters:#{#"key1": #"value"}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op1 = [[AFHTTPClient sharedClient] HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request1
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success!");
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failure!");
}];
[ops addObject:op1];
NSMutableURLRequest *request2 = [[AFHTTPClient sharedClient] requestWithMethod:#"POST"
path:#"MyAnotherEndpoint"
parameters:#{#"key2": #(104)}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op2 = [[AFHTTPClient sharedClient] HTTPRequestOperationWithRequest:request2
success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"Success!");
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Failure!");
}];
[ops addObject:op2];
[[AFHTTPClient sharedClient] enqueueBatchOfHTTPRequestOperationsWithRequests:ops
progressBlock:^(NSUInteger numberOfFinishedOperations, NSUInteger totalNumberOfOperations) {
NSLog(#"numberOfFinishedOperations: %d totalNumberOfOperations %d",
numberOfFinishedOperations,
totalNumberOfOperations);
}
completionBlock:^(NSArray *operations) {
NSLog(#"All operation compelted!");
}];

"Expected status code in (200-299), got 404"

This is my code:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://wspublisherv2.skygiraffe.com/WSpublisherV2.svc/Authenticate"];
AFHTTPClient *client = [[AFHTTPClient alloc]initWithBaseURL:url];
NSDictionary *parameters = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:#"john#sgdemo.com", #"UserName", #"123", #"Password", nil];
NSLog(#"%#", parameters);
[client postPath:nil parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"success: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"failure: %#", error);
}];
It always triggers the failure block and I get the "Expected status code in (200-299), got 404" message.
When I try it through Fiddler it works.
You need more information. Use a proxy like Charles Proxy to watch the traffic between your device and the server. That'll let you see the actual request. You can compare that to a request that works, and the difference should give a pretty good idea of what's wrong. At the very least, it'll make your question much more specific.

iOS, How to like a page on facebook?

is there a way to like a page on a button Click.
I've tried many snippets like this one
NSURL *baseURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"https://graph.facebook.com/"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:baseURL];
NSString *link = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"/%#/likes", #"6783623567"];
NSDictionary *params = #{#"access_token" : [[[FBSession activeSession] accessTokenData] accessToken]};
[httpClient postPath:link parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *op, id result) {
NSLog(#"result %#", result);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error %#", error);
}];
but it fails with "Application does not have the capability to make this API call.","type":"OAuthException","code":3".
what I'm doing now is to open the link inside a webview.
Everything here for the code, and here for the publishing actions on Facebook, such as likes... :)

Posting a serialized object with AFNetworking failing

I have a a data object, called DataElement. It contains a string of Base64 converted image bytes, along with a couple of other fields.
I am trying to post this to my wcf service and am getting an error 'Expected status code in (200-299), got 400.
The goal is to post data + an image to the WCF (rest) service, and get a modified image back- an end to end test of what I am working on.
In my post method, if I leave the encoded string empty on the object everything works just fine- but if that string is anything other than empty I get this error.
My WCF service isn't even being hit, it just bombs right to the error. Here is my post method... what am I doing wrong?
- (void)postDataToServer:(NSString*)server dataElement:(DataElement*)dataElement asJson:(BOOL)useJson
{
NSString *urlString = [[NSString alloc] init];
NSData *encodedData;
urlString = [[server copy] stringByAppendingString:#"EchoXml"];
encodedData = [self encodeDataElementAsXml:dataElement];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient requestWithMethod:#"POST" path:urlString parameters:nil];
[request setHTTPBody:encodedData];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
[_responseTextView setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Successfully uploaded file to %#", urlString]];
NSObject *httpResponseObject;
httpResponseObject = [self parseResponseAsXml:responseObject];
if ([httpResponseObject isKindOfClass:[DataElement class]])
{
DataElement *dataElement = (DataElement *)httpResponseObject;
_responseTextView.text = dataElement.DataText;
if (dataElement.DataImageBase64 != nil)
{
UIImage *dataImage = [self getImageFromString:dataElement.DataImageBase64];
self.responseImageView.image = dataImage;
}
}
NSLog(#"Successfully uploaded file to %#", urlString);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
// It goes here immediately
[_responseTextView setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Error: %#", error]];
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
[operation start];
}
Edit: Sorry the formatting got wonky when I pasted it in...
The important parts of your code are:
NSString* urlString = [server stringByAppendingString:#"EchoXml"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient
requestWithMethod:#"POST" path:urlString parameters:nil];
The actual URL that AFNetorking requests is the AFHTTPClient's base URL, with the specified path appended to it.
Your mistake is that you are specifying the same urlString again.
So, if urlString is http://your.server.com/EchoXml, then the effective URL that you're requesting is http://your.server.com/EchoXmlhttp://your.server.com/EchoXml. As you see, that doesn't work.
Fix your base URL and path to be something more appropriate. Since you didn't say what URL you are trying to access, it's hard to give much more detail. Maybe server should be the base URL, and EchoXml the path?
I know its bad form to answer my own question- but I found and fixed the problem. Bottom line, the code I was using above is fine- maybe not optimal (as Kurt pointed out) but it does what it is supposed to do.
The problem was on on my WCF service- REST service requests by default have a 65k upload limit. I reconfigured the service to allow large file uploads and everything is good.
