NSURLConnection doesn't send data, but connects

Question

The URL is written properly, I tested it in the browser with data and it sends properly, but when I make the request, it returns that it is successful, but it does not actually write the data. Any idea?

- (void)writeAboutMe:(NSString *)about withIcebreaker:(NSString *)icebreaker 
{
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://nailorbail.net63.net/submit_about_and_icebreaker.php?username=%@&about=%@&icebreaker=%@",[SignInViewController getUsernameString] ,about,icebreaker];
NSLog(@"%@",urlString);
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];

[request setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Current-Type"];
NSURLConnection *conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc]initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
if(conn)
    NSLog(@"Connection Successful");
else
    NSLog(@"Connection could not be made");
[conn release];
}

Answer 1

It could be an encoding issue. What kinds of characters are in getUsernameString, about, and icebreaker? As Maudicus mentioned, you need to handle special characters in the URL yourself.

Try:

urlString = [urlString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]

Answer 2

You have set up an asynchronous connection. Do you implement the NSURLConnection delegate protocol methods? Are any of them being called?

The creation of the connection instance doesn't say anything about it's success.
