I am trying to work with a .NET server that is returning a ASPXAUTH cookie when logging in. I am definitely getting the cookie back when I watch my network traffic with Charles, but when I inspect [NSHTTPCookieStorage sharedHTTPCookieStorage] I am not finding it contains anything. Listed is my code below. Any help would greatly be appreciated!
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc]
initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://someurl.com/api/"]];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"UserName":#"SomeUserName", #"Password":#"SomePassword"};
[manager POST:#"User/Login" parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
I found the solution as... taking the cookie and setting the http header value like so...
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:#".ASPXAUTH=%#", cookie[#"Value"]] forHTTPHeaderField:#"Cookie"];
.NET expects the cookie returned in the above format. Hope this helps anyone.

Firstly I tried the same web service with advanced rest client. it works fine. but i am having difficulty writing the equivalent in afnetworking.
here is the Webservice.
http://devmybartersite.pantheon.io/myrestapi/barter_user/create?str= {"email":"sahildgfdffdfduuy#gmail.com","pass":"hello"}
i am able to get the response in advanced rest client in chrome. Additionally need to set a X-CSRF-Token in the header.
Here is my code
- (IBAction)pressed:(id)sender {
NSLog(#"You entered %#",self.username.text);
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
//header fields
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"vZu-YUFWLzIdFIn7VDoA6hV9IhrYe-BimkC1ncRdojU" forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-CSRF-Token"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSDictionary *params = # {#"user":#"kjhkhkjhmnbbnjhio#gmail.com", #"pwd":#"hello" };
[manager POST:#"http://dev-my-barter-site.pantheon.io/myrestapi/barter_user/create" parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
}
Default requestSerializer will transform your parameters to the following format user=kjhkhkjhmnbbnjhio#gmail.com&pwd=hello. In order to get JSON formatted request body, use AFJSONRequestSerializer:
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"..." forHTTPHeaderField:#"..."];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"..." forHTTPHeaderField:#"..."];
than you send request:
[manager POST:....]
I'm using AFNetworking to download a .gzip file, that when uncompressed should return a JSON string. I've made the get request via my browser, the .gzip file is downloaded and when unzipped, the appropriate JSON is retrieved.
I know AFNetworking is built on NSURLConnection, and from what I read NSURLConnection has gzip inflation in built into it. However, I'm unable to uncompress and parse the gzip file returned by the server into JSON. The response object from AFNetworking remains nil. My code is as follows:
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"gzip" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Accept-Encoding"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObjects:#"application/json", #"text/plain", #"application/x-gzip", nil];
[manager GET:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#%#", BASE_URL, GET_CONTENTS_URL] parameters:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
if(responseObject == nil){
NSLog(#"Response is still nil");
}
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
I'm unsure why this does not work.
Note 1: However, if I replace the response serializer to AFHTTPResponse serializer, the response object is not nil. However, it is of class _NSInlineData, which is an undocumented class.
I had the same problem, Finally I get work with the help of AFgzipRequestSerializer.
You need to use "AFgzipRequestSerializer".
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFgzipRequestSerializer serializerWithSerializer:[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer]];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
In my case, I use AFHTTPSessionManager and it worked fine without using AFgzipRequestSerializer to decode the response.
NSDictionary *parameters = #{
#"project_name": #"hasanProj",
#"project_desc" : #"testing...",
#"project_date" : #"2015-2-22"
};
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [[AFHTTPSessionManager alloc]initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://serverIP"]];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:[HRUser sharedUser].userApiKey forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
[manager POST:#"/rest/v1/project" parameters:parameters success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"%#",responseObject);
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#",error.localizedDescription);
}];
This code is returning Request failed: bad request (400).
I checked parameter, url they are all correct. I called it from chrome extension postman and getting correct result.
And other requests are working perfectly, even get is working fine.
But why I am getting Request failed: bad request (400) on this?
I was also facing the same error and this worked for me..
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableStatusCodes = [NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndex:400];
or
You can directly parse the response object.
i think there will be problem with the request. your putting wrong type or wrong data.
acceptableContentTypes for request also matters.
second thing the parameters that your sending data to it. check tags correct are not
ask WEB service developer exact need of API.
Code:
NSDictionary *parameters = #{
#"project_name": #"hasanProj",
#"project_desc" : #"testing...",
#"project_date" : #"2015-2-22"
};
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [[AFHTTPSessionManager alloc]init];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:[HRUser sharedUser].userApiKey forHTTPHeaderField:#"Authorization"];
[manager.requestSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:#"application/json"];
[manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:#"application/json"];
[manager POST:#"http://serverIP/rest/v1/project" parameters:parameters success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject)
{
NSLog(#"%#",responseObject);
} failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"error: %#",error.localizedDescription);
}];
I would like to make the following request from my app:
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *requestManager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] init];
requestManager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [requestManager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes setByAddingObject:#"application/json"];
requestManager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[requestManager POST:urlString parameters:aParameters constructingBodyWithBlock:nil success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject)
{
NSLog(#"%#", responseObject);
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error)
{
NSLog(#"error: %#", error);
}];
Where aParameters is an NSDictionary with the following content:
NSDictionary *urlParams = #{#"username" : anUser.userName, #"password" : anUser.password};
When I make the request from my app with the user input of "anUsername" and "aPassword" I get the following log for the body in my servlet:
--Boundary+5738A89B2C391231
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="password"
aPassword
--Boundary+5738A89B2C391231
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="username"
anUsername
--Boundary+5738A89B2C391231--
multipart/form-data; boundary=Boundary+5738A89B2C391231
I was under the impression that using AFJSONRequestSerializer would send my request in the appropriate format, but as the log shows, it's multipart/form data. It is really hard (for me) to parse this kind of request (I'm parsing it in Java on the server side), so my question is: is it possible to send a json in the body of my request? Something like this:
{
"userName" : "anUsername",
"password" : "aPassword"
}
Any help would be appreciated.
For anyone concerned: Instead of using the POST:parameters:constructingBodyWithBlock:success:failure: method, you should use POST:parameters:success:failure:. The former performs a multipart form request, while the latter does url form encoding. Additionally, to send the params in JSON, the requestSerializer property of the AFHTTPRequestOperationManager instance should be an instance of AFJSONRequestSerializer (by default it is set to AFHTTPRequestSerializer)
It is really helpful to browse the implementation file of AFHTTPRequestOperationManager for details, it helped me sort this error out.
You don't need to send pure JSON in POST request, just send Parameters dictionary. Here is the sample code that is working for POST Request.
+ (void)login:(BOUser *)user responseBlock:(APIRequestResponseBlock)responseBlock {
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"parse-application-id-removed" forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-Parse-Application-Id"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"parse-rest-api-key-removed" forHTTPHeaderField:#"X-Parse-REST-API-Key"];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
manager.securityPolicy.allowInvalidCertificates = YES;
NSString *URLString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#login", BASE_URL_STRING];
NSDictionary *params = #{#"email": user.username,
#"password": user.password};
[manager POST:URLString parameters:params success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
responseBlock(nil, FALSE, error);
}];
}
I hope it helps.
How do I send a POST request with AFNetworking 2.0 with all the parameters in the URL like such:
http://www.myserver.com?api_key=something&lat=2.4&radius=100
Right now I have:
NSString* query = #"http://example.com?name=param&date=param";
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{};
[manager POST:query parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(#"JSON: %#", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(#"Error: %#", error);
}];
But it's not working, I get this error back:
Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Request failed: bad request (400)
The previous best answer was to get the backend to change and accepts parameters in the body. Thats the preferred method but sometimes some of us are stuck using backends that can't change so I offer this solution....
In the class AFURLRequestSerialization there is a property called HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI and that is an NSSet that contains the http methods that are allowed to use params in the uri GET, HEAD, and DELETE by default.
You could override that and include POST as well.
in AFURLRequestSerialization.m lines 462 has an if statement that checks self.HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI property contains POST. if it doesn't (as it doesn't by default), it will put the parameters in the body.
You can comment out that id statement for a quick test.
To get it to work I recommend overwriting the HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI property.
when setting up your AFHTTPSessionManager it should look like this...
AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [[AFHTTPSessionManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.httpBaseUrl]];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.requestSerializer.HTTPMethodsEncodingParametersInURI = [NSSet setWithArray:#[#"POST", #"GET", #"HEAD", whatever other http methods you need here....]];
this should allow for sending a parameters in the uri of a POST. worked for me, hope it helps someone else

I've had the same problem with you.
Other people's answers seem to be accurate.
The cause of the error is:
when you init NSUrl with parameters such as http:www.baidu.com/api?id=1&name=我,it needs you to encode your urlString with utf-8
such as :
//解决奇葩需求：请求方式为post时，url带?id=1之类。主要原因是url带中文的时候url初始化失败
URLString = [URLString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [self.requestSerializer requestWithMethod:method URLString:[[NSURL URLWithString:URLString relativeToURL:self.baseURL] absoluteString] parameters:parameters error:&serializationError];
Hope to help you!
can you try this.
NSString* apiURL = #"http://example.com"
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:apiURL]];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serilizer];
manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObject:#"application/json"];
NSDictionary *parameters = #{#"name":#"John",#"date":"27/12/2013"};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *apiRequest = [manager POST:#"" parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog#"response ---%#,responseObject";
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
}];
[apiRequest start];
I was able to do this by creating the string like this:
NSString *relativeURL =[NSString
stringWithFormat:#"/reward/commit?deviceUUID=%#&rewardID=%#",[[Client
sharedInstance] deviceUUID],self.rewardID];
and then passing it as the query. I had to set the requestSerializer and responseSerializer as follows:
client.requestSerializer = [AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
client.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];
Worked for me once I left the manager.requestSerializer property alone and let it be the default (AFHTTPRequestSerializer).
The service i was POSTing to, was seemingly expecting UTF8 encoded body parameters.
