How can I add a request header with AFNetworking?

Question

I want to use AFNetworking class to my application to communicating with server.

I am new to this library . Here is my code:

 NSDictionary *user=[[NSDictionary alloc]initWithObjectsAndKeys:@"hiteshp",@"userName",@"12345^",@"password", nil];
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
AFHTTPRequestSerializer *requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
[requestSerializer setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
manager.requestSerializer=requestSerializer;   //[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer];
[manager POST:@"myURL" parameters:user success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
    NSLog(@"JSON: %@ %@", responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
}];

I want to add header to this request . I tried but it is not working . If I wrote commented line then request is done but I also want to add one more field "Authorization" to requset. Andhow to print request header?

Answer 1

Use this in your code:

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
    manager.responseSerializer.acceptableContentTypes = [NSSet setWithObjects:@"text/html", @"application/json", nil];

//Authorization    
[manager.requestSerializer setAuthorizationHeaderFieldWithUsername:userName password:password];

I know it's too late but here's a code that makes what you want

NSString *finalyToken = [[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"Bearer %@",user.token];
 AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager =
[[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://server1.appscserver.de/api"]];
[manager.requestSerializer setValue:finalyToken forHTTPHeaderField:@"Authorization"];

Hope it helps someone

[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];

Answer 4

in php file add: header('Content-type: application/json');

in xcode: manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

example xcode code:

NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"key1": @"value1",
                             @"key2": @"value2"};

    AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

    manager.responseSerializer = [AFJSONResponseSerializer serializer];

    [manager POST:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://%@", Url] parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", responseObject);

    } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);

    }];
