I have a question regarding to the code that OCRApiService.com provides to devs.
This is the code they provide:
//author : Altaf A. M.
//Code Snippet to convert the captured/picker'd (sic) image via OCRApiService
//Input parameter: UIImage
//output parameter: NSString
//updates possible(rather necessary): integrate it asynchronously
- (NSString *) upload:(UIImage *)myImage
{
NSString *urlString = #"http://api.ocrapiservice.com/1.0/rest/ocr";
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#", boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
// file
// NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(myImage);
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(myImage, 1.0);
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: attachment; name=\"image\"; filename=\".jpg\""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// Text parameter1
NSString *param1 = #"en";
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"language\""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:param1] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// Another text parameter
NSString *param2 = #"YOUR_API_KEY";
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"apikey\""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:param2] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#""] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// close form
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#--", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// set request body
[request setHTTPBody:body];
//return and test
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *returnedString = [[[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] autorelease];
// NSLog(#"received string = %#", returnString);
// UIAlertView *returnedText = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:#"Returned Text" message:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#", returnString] delegate:self cancelButtonTitle:#"Ok" otherButtonTitles:nil];
// [returnedText show ];
// [returnedText release];
return returnedString;
}
I put in my API Key but the problem is whenever I call this method, I get
received string = HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request
The language parameter is missing
According to the docs, I have set the language correctly but I am not sure why it is still coming up with this error message...
Thanks!
I am the owner of ocrapiservice.com.
The api is working but there is a bug in the code snippet.
Could you please open an issue on https://github.com/smart-mobile-software/ocrapiservice/issues ?
We will correct it within the week.

I am successfully posting UIImage to server, but I need to post a NSString with the UIImage.
Below is the code with which I tried to post UIImage to server.
selectedItem is the array where I am storing all selected UIImage from gallery.
The line which I have commented is what I need to send to server.
for (int i=0; i<[selectedItem count]; i++) {
//NSString *post =[[NSString alloc] initWithFormat:#"mid:%#",mid];
NSData *theData = UIImagePNGRepresentation([selectedItem objectAtIndex:i]);
NSString *urlString = #"http://retailertoolkit.com/RTK/upload.php";
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",mid] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"iphoneimage.png\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:theData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSURLConnection *connection=[[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if(connection) {
} else {
}
}
Every parameter of the request has to be added as you are adding the image to the request.
Try replacing [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",mid] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; with
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"{parameter_name}\";\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[mid dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
Where parameter_name should be your mid string's key (parameter name). Good Luck!

I have a simple question- I'm currently writing a specific part in my app related to sending data to server.
I tried to send text, succeeded. Sent image, succeeded.
What I'm trying to do now is to send them both within one POST request.
I figured out that I need to use something that is called multipart/form-data and boundaries, but I haven't found anymore info about it.
So how can I send both text and image in one, simple POST request? And how can I check for errors during upload, afterwards etc.?
Thanks!
Reference code I've written but sending 0 bytes of info:
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(sendImage, 1.0);
// setting up the request object now
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"http://posttestserver.com/post.php?dir=something"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString *boundary = #"---------------------------54737809831466490885746641449";
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"rn--%#rn",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

You probably want to use a network library like AFNetworking, and save yourself some time :)
How can I create a post with an image and attach it as a featured image from iPhone app?
I am using wordpress with JSON API plugin
My url to create post: <-- Reference to this
http://www.example.com/api/create_post/?nonce=eea4bb4ce5&status=publish&title=Test&content=test%20content&categories=animals
Now I need to attach an image from the phone gallery to this url. How can I do this?
Try this. Use JSON POST method. You can append all your parameters like this.
-(void)uploadImage
{
NSString *method = #"";
NSString *username = #"";
NSString *token = #"";
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",#"yoururl"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
// file
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation( imageView.image, 0.8);
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"; filename=\".jpg\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// parameter username
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"username\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[username dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// parameter token
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"auth_token\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[token dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// // parameter method
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"method\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[method dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// close form
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// setting the body of the post to the reqeust
[request setHTTPBody:body];
// now lets make the connection to the web
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"%#",returnString);
[returnString release];
}
Hope this may help you.
To full fill your requirement you need to send image file on web-service using by POST method
First chose image from Photo Library or take it from the camera and make data of that Image using following code.
NSString *imgName = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"ImageTest"];
NSData *imgData=UIImagePNGRepresentation(imgView.image);
NSString* urlstring = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://www.example.com/api/create_post/?nonce=eea4bb4ce5&status=publish&title=Test&content=test%20content&categories=animals&imageFile=%#",imgName];
NSLog(#"URL >> %#",urlstring);
NSURL url = [NSURL URLWithString:[urlstring stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//===============================================
NSMutableURLRequest postRequest = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[postRequest setURL:url];
[postRequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSString boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[postRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
NSMutableData *body = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
[postRequest addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
imgName this is very important object in this code it's image which you need to pass in your web service which is shown as above.
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\"%#.png\"\r\n",imgName]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]]; //img name
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// Add Image imgData is Declare as Above.
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imgData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postRequest setHTTPBody:body];
NSURLResponse *response;
NSError error = nil;
NSData* data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:postRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];
NSString *result=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
// NSString * jsonRes = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:nil];
NSLog(#"result = %#",[result JSONValue]);
It perfectly working with me ! I hope you may get help from here!
in my app i want to upload an image chosen via UIImagePickerController to a database which only accepts JPEG images. I've browsed many questions in here, and in other forums but i still didn't get it to work. I hope you can check my code, if there is a mistake which i can't see.
This is the complete method for uploading, with an image description, an image title, and the geodata for this image:
- (void) uploadPic{
NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
NSString *destinationFilePath = [[NSString alloc] initWithFormat: #"%#/%#.jpeg", documentsDirectory, self.chosenImage.imgTitle];
NSURL *fileURL = [[NSURL alloc]initWithString:destinationFilePath];
NSLog(#"will upload file: %#", destinationFilePath);
NSData *imageURLdata = [[NSData alloc]initWithContentsOfURL:fileURL]; (*1)
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self.chosenImage, 90); (*2)
//Here i tried 2 ways of getting the data for uploading, but both don't work.
// create the URL
NSURL *postURL = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://*********/PictureUpload"];
// create the connection
NSMutableURLRequest *postRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:postURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:20.0];
// change type to POST (default is GET)
[postRequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
// just some random text that will never occur in the body
NSString *stringBoundary = #"0xKhTmLbOuNdArY---This_Is_ThE_BoUnDaRyy---pqo";
// header value, user session ID added
NSString *headerBoundary = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",
sessionID];
// set header
[postRequest addValue:headerBoundary forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
// create data
NSMutableData *postBody = [NSMutableData data];
// title part
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"title\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

The GEOimage chosenImage is created via the CGImageRef after an UIImage is chosen in the ImagePickerController.
Method nr. *1 to get the NSData for upload is not the best, because here the image is chosen from the document directory, and here every EXIF information about the image is deleted.
With both methods i get the response from the database that the image filetype is not supported (JPEG expected).
I thought with method nr. *2 i'm sending an JPEG image, but perhaps i have a mistake in the whole multipart/formdata process.
I tried to get the URL to the original file on the filesystem, but this is quite difficult for me. I only got the assets-url from the image.
Thanks in advance

You've probably solved it on your own by now, but I think I see your problem.
NSString *stringBoundary = #"0xKhTmLbOuNdArY---This_Is_ThE_BoUnDaRyy---pqo";
// header value, user session ID added
NSString *headerBoundary = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",
sessionID];
When you're defining the boundary inside the MIME header, you're using your sessionID as the boundary. Then, down below, you're using your stringBoundary variable to create the actual boundaries.
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
It might also be a good idea to provide the Content-Length of each MIME block to help the processing code, but I don't think that's at issue here.
