NSURLConnection working properly on iOS 6 but not on earlier versions - ios5

I initially created a project using XCode 4.5 but later i moved on the same code to XCode 4.2.
My code in running fine on all simulators including the latest iOS6, but on device its only works with iOS6 and NOT with the earlier versions.
When i send the request to the server with some parameters, it returns me an error 'Parameters missing'. (i think the way request created on iOS 5 and 6 are different, but not sure)
This is the code:
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
NSURL *requestURL = [NSURL URLWithString:[urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setURL:requestURL];
[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", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"type_id\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",type_poboq] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"signin_data\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",jsonVal] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
[NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
queue:[NSOperationQueue mainQueue]
completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {
if(error.localizedDescription == NULL)
{
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[delegate ConnectionDidFinishLoading:returnString];
}
else
{
NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
[delegate ConnectiondidFailWithError:returnString];
}
}];

apparently there was some problem with the boundary, i used the following line instead and it worked.
NSString *boundary = #"---------------------------14737809831466499882746641449";

Hope the answer is useful for you . You can increase/decrease the number of paramter by simply altering the body
Please add code to check.
In iOS applications I suggest using AFNetworking
for any server - client communication.

This may help you.I tried this post: "image upload tutorial iOS".

how to share image to twitter from iphone application

I'm using twitter+OAuth with MGTwitterengine in my application and successfully post a comment to twitter. But now my problem is share image to twitter using
https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json . I searched many web sites and get source code by using this direct upload to twitter api

Using this code i'm getting responsestring is below
{"errors":[{"message":"Internal error","code":131}]}
It is a server error or my error. really do not know where i was wrong in the above code.
if anybody know answer please guide to me. your help saved my life cause i was searching the above task past three months using three kind of different api's like Twitpic, yfrog and now post/update_with_media.
NSString *status = tweetText.text;
TWRequest *sendTweet;
if(image1 == nil)
{
sendTweet = [[TWRequest alloc]
initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/update.json"]
parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:status, #"status", nil]
requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
}
else
{
sendTweet = [[TWRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:#"https://upload.twitter.com/1/statuses/update_with_media.json"]
parameters:[NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:status, #"status",image1,#"media" , nil]
requestMethod:TWRequestMethodPOST];
[sendTweet addMultiPartData:[tweetText.text dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] withName:#"status" type:#"multipart/form-data"];
[sendTweet addMultiPartData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(image1) withName:#"media" type:#"multipart/png"];
}
sendTweet.account = self.account;
[sendTweet performRequestWithHandler:^(NSData *responseData, NSHTTPURLResponse *urlResponse, NSError *error) {
if ([urlResponse statusCode] == 200)
{
dispatch_sync(dispatch_get_main_queue(),
^{
[self displayText:#"Tweet Done"];
});
}
else
{
NSLog(#"Problem sending tweet: %#", error);
}
}];
Hope this code works for you, it works for me, in this you can post image as well as text only. Best of luck

File upload server from iphone app [duplicate]

I want upload image to sever in iphone app I am using following code for PHP
but using this code i get error displayed on page when i run localhost/upload.php;
<?php
$uploaddir = 'photos/';
$file = basename($_FILES['userfile']['name']);
$uploadfile = $uploaddir . $file;
if (move_uploaded_file($_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'], $uploadfile)) {
echo "OK";
else {
echo "ERROR";
}
?>

Calling method
[self uploadImage:UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageView.image, 1.0) filename:#"pig.jpg"];
if you think error in php code then first try this print_r($_FILES); and see what did you get in the $_FILES['userfile']
try this and also did you check in php by print_r($_FILES);

NSData and Uploading Images via POST in iOS

I have been combing through the many many posts about uploading images via POST in iOS. Despite the wealth of information on this topic, I cannot manage to correctly upload JPEG data taken from my iPhone Simulator Photo Library.
The data, once on the server, is just a huge string of hexidecimal. Shouldn't NSData just be a byte stream? I don't get whats going on with all the hex, or why this code seems to work for everyone else.
Here is the code in question:
-(void)uploadWithUserLocationString:(NSString*)userLocation{
NSString *urlString = #"http://some.url.com/post";
// set up the form keys and values (revise using 1 NSDictionary at some point - neater than 2 arrays)
NSArray *keys = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:#"auth",#"text",#"location",nil];
NSArray *vals = [[NSArray alloc] initWithObjects:self.authToken,self.textBox.text,userLocation,nil];
// set up the request object
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
//Add content-type to Header. Need to use a string boundary for data uploading.
NSString *boundary = [NSString stringWithString:#"0xKhTmLbOuNdArY"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#",boundary];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
//create the post body
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
//add (key,value) pairs (no idea why all the \r's and \n's are necessary ... but everyone seems to have them)
for (int i=0; i<[keys count]; i++) {
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%#\"\r\n\r\n",[keys objectAtIndex:i]] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",[vals objectAtIndex:i]] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
}
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"image\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:self.imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"\r\n--%#--\r\n",boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];
// set the body of the post to the reqeust
[request setHTTPBody:body];
// 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);
[keys release];
[vals release];
}
Thanks for your time.
This code works in my app. If you're not using ARC you'll need to modify the code to release anything alloc'ed.
// create request

[request setTimeoutInterval:30];

// set Content-Type in HTTP header
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"multipart/form-data; boundary=%#", boundary];
[request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: #"Content-Type"];
// post body
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
// add params (all params are strings)
for (NSString *param in _params) {
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%#\"\r\n\r\n", param] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#\r\n", [_params objectForKey:param]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
// add image data
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(imageToPost, 1.0);
if (imageData) {
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%#\"; filename=\"image.jpg\"\r\n", FileParamConstant] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

Take a look at Apple's SimpleURLConnections example project. You can use the PostController from there with a few modifications.
However - it's not exactly simple. The difference to the solution above is that Apple's is using a stream to stream the file to the server. That's much more memory-friendly than keeping the encoded image data around for the duration of the upload. It's also way more complicated.
NSData *imgData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imgUser.image);
NSString *str=[NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#upload_image",appDelegate.strRoot];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%#",str];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
NSString *boundary = #"---------------------------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:[#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"a.jpg\"\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[#"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imgData]];
[body appendData:[#"\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// parameter UserId
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"userid\"\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[appDelegate.strUserID dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[#"\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// close form
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:#"--%#--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
// setting the body of the post to the request
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
// NSString *returnString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSDictionary *dict=[NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:returnData options:NSJSONReadingMutableLeaves error:nil];
NSLog(#"%#",dict);
I see that you send multiple files in one request, correct?
From HTTP specification, you should use multipart/mixed Content-type inside embedding multipart/form-data
Example from link above:
Content-type: multipart/form-data, boundary=AaB03x
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="field1"
Joe Blow
--AaB03x
content-disposition: form-data; name="pics"
Content-type: multipart/mixed, boundary=BbC04y
--BbC04y
Content-disposition: attachment; filename="file1.txt"
