Question
Hi i have done with status update in tumbler but i am facing problem when i am sending photo in the form of data, as shown below.
-(IBAction)sendPhoto
{
NSString *email = @"user_name@gmail.com";
NSString *password = @"password";
NSString *sendType = @"photo";
UIImage *imageMS = [UIImage imageNamed:@"Submit.png"];
NSData *photoData = [[NSData alloc] initWithData:UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageMS)];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]
initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.tumblr.com/api/write"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
NSString *request_body = [NSString
stringWithFormat:@"email=%@&password=%@&type=%@&data=%@",
[email stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding],
[password stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding],
[sendType stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding],
photoData];
[request setHTTPBody:[request_body dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[web loadRequest:request];
}
But it is not getting updated. Why?
Solution
My original answer proved to be incorrect, but the OP posted a link to code that he said fixed his problem. I have copied that code below so that future searchers can find it easily, since I know how frustrating it can be to see your problem described and find a link to the solution only to have that link be dead.
Code based on http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=427513:
- (BOOL)sendPhotoToTumblr:(NSString *)photo usingEmail:(NSString *)tumblrEmail andPassword:(NSString *)tumblrPassword withCaption:(NSString *)caption;
{
//get image data from file
NSData *imageData = [NSData dataWithContentsOfFile:photo];
//stop on error
if (!imageData) return NO;
//Create dictionary of post arguments
NSArray *keys = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:@"email",@"password",@"type",@"caption",nil];
NSArray *objects = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:
tumblrEmail,
tumblrPassword,
@"photo", caption, nil];
NSDictionary *keysDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjects:objects forKeys:keys];
//create tumblr photo post
NSURLRequest *tumblrPost = [self createTumblrRequest:keysDict withData:imageData];
[keysDict release];
//send request, return YES if successful
tumblrConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:tumblrPost delegate:self];
if (!tumblrConnection) {
NSLog(@"Failed to submit request");
return NO;
} else {
NSLog(@"Request submitted");
receivedData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
[tumblrConnection release];
return YES;
}
}
-(NSURLRequest *)createTumblrRequest:(NSDictionary *)postKeys withData:(NSData *)data
{
//create the URL POST Request to tumblr
NSURL *tumblrURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.tumblr.com/api/write"];
NSMutableURLRequest *tumblrPost = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:tumblrURL];
[tumblrPost setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
//Add the header info
NSString *stringBoundary = [NSString stringWithString:@"0xKhTmLbOuNdArY"];
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@",stringBoundary];
[tumblrPost addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];
//create the body
NSMutableData *postBody = [NSMutableData data];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//add key values from the NSDictionary object
NSEnumerator *keys = [postKeys keyEnumerator];
int i;
for (i = 0; i < [postKeys count]; i++) {
NSString *tempKey = [keys nextObject];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"%@\"\r\n\r\n",tempKey] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",[postKeys objectForKey:tempKey]] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
}
//add data field and file data
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=\"data\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[NSData dataWithData:data]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n",stringBoundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
//add the body to the post
[tumblrPost setHTTPBody:postBody];
return tumblrPost;
}
I have modified the above code to eliminate some memory issues and to add some parameters to make this a more generic/flexible solution. However, if someone would like the original code as posted on that site, just look through this answer's edit revisions.
OTHER TIPS
For future reference, ASIHTTPRequest's ASIFormDatRequest makes this sort of thing much easier.
