I've done many searches but none of the code fragments I find seem to work for me. I have the following fragment in xcode for running within my iPhone app:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://blah.blah.com/rec.php"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSData *body = [#"data=crap" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSString *bodyLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [body length]];
[request setValue:bodyLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:NULL error:NULL];
The rec.php is called fine but the post data does not make it through. The entry $_POST['data'] is empty. Could anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

I'm trying to manipulate this curl request in Objective-C:
curl -u username:password "http://www.example.com/myapi/getdata"
I've implemented the following and I'm getting a data get error Domain=kCFErrorDomainCFNetwork Code=303 with NSErrorFailingURLKey=http://www.example.com/myapi/getdata:
// Make a call to the API to pull out the categories
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://www.example.com/myapi/getdata"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
// Create the username:password string for the request
NSString *loginString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#:%#", API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD];
// Create the authorisation string from the username password string
NSData *postData = [loginString dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [postData length]];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
I was hoping that someone could spot where I am going wrong with my attempt to manipulate the curl request and point me in the correct direction. Is there something obvious I'm missing out? The data returned from the API is in a JSON format.
I found that the best thing to do was to not attempt the authentication within the code and to put it straight in the URL itself. The working code looks as follows:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: [NSString stringWithFormat:#"http://%#:%##www.example.com/myapi/getdata", API_USERNAME, API_PASSWORD]];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setURL:url];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"GET"];
[request setValue:#"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
NSError *error;
NSURLResponse *response;
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
This guide seems to do what you're looking for:
http://deusty.blogspot.co.uk/2006/11/sending-http-get-and-post-from-cocoa.html
Just as an FYI, a lot of classes accept initWithData, and NSData has a method dataWithContentsOfURL, if you want to avoid setting up NSURLConnections yourself this could be an easier way of achieving what you're looking for.

Dilshand's answer is ok , but you can use ASIFormDataRequest for ease. like follow
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setRequestMethod:#"POST"];
[request setPostValue:mobileApplicationId forKey:#"mobileApplicationId"];
[request setPostValue:mobileApplicationVersion forKey:#"mobileApplicationVersion"];
[request setPostValue:userID forKey:#"userId"];
[request setPostValue:pass forKey:#"password"];
[request setValidatesSecureCertificate:NO];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request setTimeOutSeconds:60];
[request startAsynchronous];

//self.receivedData = [NSMutableData data];
self.postConnection = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];
}
This line looks wrong:
[request setValue:#"wp-comments-post.php" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
It should be:
[request addValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
I'm not sure what you're supposed to do with "wp-comments-post.php", should that perhaps be in the URL instead?

Have you tried something smaller first? Say doing an http post locally? Or doing an http post to that server with a simple html form?
I have run into this issue myself and decided to step back and start with a simple http post to make sure my objective-c was correct first.
I used this tutorial to get me started -hope it helps
