Restkit not setting header or cookies


I am using restkit to login and map the objects of highrise api. I am able to login using /me.xml but stuck after that to fetch the other endpoints like people.xml, tasks.xml etc.

The code for login:

//MYObjectManager is a class inherited from RKObjectManager.

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:BASE_URL];    
MYObjectManager *sharedManager  = [self managerWithBaseURL:url];
sharedManager.requestSerializationMIMEType = RKMIMETypeXML;
[RKMIMETypeSerialization registerClass:[RKXMLReaderSerialization class] forMIMEType:RKMIMETypeXML];
[sharedManager setAcceptHeaderWithMIMEType:@"application/xml"];
[sharedManager.HTTPClient setAuthorizationHeaderWithUsername:USERNAME password:PASSWORD];

A class UserManager inherited from MYObjectManager for user to load authenticated user as:

    - (void) loadAuthenticatedUser:(void (^)(User *))success failure:(void (^)(RKObjectRequestOperation *, NSError *))failure {
        RKResponseDescriptor *authenticatedUserResponseDescriptors = [RKResponseDescriptor responseDescriptorWithMapping:[MappingProvider userMapping] method:RKRequestMethodGET pathPattern:nil keyPath:@"user" statusCodes:RKStatusCodeIndexSetForClass(RKStatusCodeClassSuccessful)];

       [self addResponseDescriptor:authenticatedUserResponseDescriptors];

       [self getObjectsAtPath:@"me.xml" parameters:nil success:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, RKMappingResult *mappingResult) {
        if (success) {
            User *currentUser = (User *)[mappingResult.array firstObject];            
            success(currentUser);
          }
        } failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
          if (failure) {
            failure(operation, error);
        }
   }];
}

This works and returns me the token. But now with the use of this token also i am not able to make further requests (seems some cookies are not set by restkit, may be) ContactManager inherited from MYObjectManager as well.

In the success block of user i am making request for people.xml as:

[[UserManager sharedManager] loadAuthenticatedUser:^(User *user) {
    self.apiToken = user.utoken;
    if(self.apiToken){
       // [[ContactManager sharedManager].HTTPClient setDefaultHeader:@"Authorization" value: [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Basic %@", self.apiToken]];

        [[ContactManager sharedManager].HTTPClient setAuthorizationHeaderWithToken:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Basic %@", self.apiToken]];

        [[ContactManager sharedManager] loadContacts:^(ContactList *contacts) {
            NSLog(@"contacts is: %@", contacts);
        }failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error){
            NSLog(@"contacts error occured: %@", error);
        }];
    }
} failure:^(RKObjectRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"login error occured: %@", error);
}];

But this gives error of 401 unauthorized. What is missing? Any help is appreciated.

EDIT - Request and reponses are as follows:

Solution

  • Issue solved. It need to set Username as the token and password the dummy one.
