I'm trying to send a picture to my server using HTTP POST on iOS 7/8. My problem is that I get an error on the request (pasted below) no matter which URL of my site is set. I sent an e-mail to my hosting company and they told me that it was due to a bad header. I can't figure out what's going wrong with my code... I have put the same boundary string than in the code examples on the web, mabe should I not have done it.
PLEASE HELP ME !
Live code :
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([UIImage imageNamed:@"uploadingpic.png"], 90);
self.preview.image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"uploadingpic.png"];
NSString *urlString=@"http://myCoolURL/upload.php";
NSMutableURLRequest *request=[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc]init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[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: from-data; name=\"userfile\"; filename=\".jpg\"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithString:@"Content-Type: application/octet-stream\r\n\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[body appendData:[NSData dataWithData:imageData]];
[body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[request setHTTPBody:body];
NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *returnString=[[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(returnString);
Here is the detailed error (specific to my servor provider i think) returned to NSLog :

- Unfortunately, Microsoft has added a clever new
- "feature" to Internet Explorer. If the text of
- an error's message is "too small", specifically
- less than 512 bytes, Internet Explorer returns
- its own error message. You can turn that off,
- but it's pretty tricky to find switch called
- "smart error messages". That means, of course,
- that short error messages are censored by default.
- IIS always returns error messages that are long
- enough to make Internet Explorer happy. The
- workaround is pretty simple: pad the error
- message with a big comment like this to push it
- over the five hundred and twelve bytes minimum.
- Of course, that's exactly what you're reading
- right now.

Someone spotted my error on apple devforums. If you check my code, I have typed "from" somewhere rather than "form" Such a small mistake ^^'
Thank you anyway !
