HTTP request objective c

I am trying to make a HTTP request in this way:

 NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.dropbox.com/1/oauth/request_token"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlString]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

//set headers
NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"text/xml"];
[request addValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

 oauth_version="1.0"
oauth_signature_method="PLAINTEXT"
oauth_consumer_key="<app-key>"
oauth_signature="<app-secret>&"

//create the body
NSMutableData *postBody = [NSMutableData data];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<xml>"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"<yourcode/>"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
[postBody appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"</xml>"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

//post
[request setHTTPBody:postBody];

//get response
NSHTTPURLResponse* urlResponse = nil;  
NSError *error = [[NSError alloc] init];  
NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&urlResponse error:&error];  
NSString *result = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"Response Code: %d", [urlResponse statusCode]);
if ([urlResponse statusCode] >= 200 && [urlResponse statusCode] < 300) {
    NSLog(@"Response: %@", result);

    //here you get the response

}

I am trying to make the request with these headers:

Authorization: OAuth oauth_version="1.0", oauth_signature_method="PLAINTEXT", oauth_consumer_key="<app-key>", oauth_signature="<app-secret>&"

But I can't understand how to. PLease help!!

This error occurs when your are passing wrong bundle or document directory path to media. Just simply verify your media path to the HTTP request body.

The authorization in your case is just a HTTP header. So it's:

[request addValue:@"OAuth oauth_version=\"1.0\", oauth_signature_method=\"PLAINTEXT\", oauth_consumer_key=\"<app-key>\", oauth_signature=\"<app-secret>&\"" forHTTPHeaderField: @"Authorization"];

Or:

NSString* oauth_version=@"1.0";
NSString* oauth_signature_method=@"PLAINTEXT";
NSString* oauth_consumer_key=@"<app-key>";
NSString* oauth_signature=@"<app-secret>&";
NSString* authHeader = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"OAuth oauth_version=\"%@\", oauth_signature_method=\"%@\", oauth_consumer_key=\"%@\", oauth_signature=\"%@\"",
    oauth_version, oauth_signature_method, oauth_consumer_key, oauth_signature];

Try commenting all this

//NSData *responseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&urlResponse error:&error];  
//NSString *result = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
//NSLog(@"Response Code: %d", [urlResponse statusCode]);
//if ([urlResponse statusCode] >= 200 && [urlResponse statusCode] < 300) {
   // NSLog(@"Response: %@", result);

    //here you get the response

//}

and use this instead of all above

 NSURLConnection *conn = [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];

Implement these delegate functions

Note - self.data is NSMUtableData object declared as data in header.

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response {
    [self.data setLength:0];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)d {
    [self.data appendData:d];
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error {
    [[[[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"Error", @"")
                                 message:[error localizedDescription]
                                delegate:nil
                       cancelButtonTitle:NSLocalizedString(@"OK", @"") 
                       otherButtonTitles:nil] autorelease] show];
}

- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {


    NSString *responseText = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:self.data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

    // Do anything you want with it 
    [responseText release];
}

// Handle basic authentication challenge if needed
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveAuthenticationChallenge:(NSURLAuthenticationChallenge *)challenge {

//I'm using HTTP Digest Authentication in your case it could be different
    NSURLCredential *credential = [NSURLCredential credentialWithUser:HTTP_DIGEST_USER
                                                             password:HTTP_DIGEST_PASSWORD
                                                          persistence:NSURLCredentialPersistenceForSession];
    [[challenge sender] useCredential:credential forAuthenticationChallenge:challenge];
}

Hope it will help
