How to upload a file using Reskit in iOS

How would I go about uploading an audio file using Restkit? I've looked around the documentation and can't seem to find anything about uploading files. Thanks for your help.

For Restkit 0.20, the MIME types are automatically detected when creating the attachement. So you do not need to call

attachment.MIMEType

And when building the params:

[params setData:imageData MIMEType:attachment.MIMEType forParam:@"image2"];

This article explains how: http://mobile.tutsplus.com/tutorials/iphone/advanced-restkit-development_iphone-sdk/

Excerpt:

NSString* myFilePath = @"/some/path/to/picture.gif";
RKParams* params = [RKParams params];

// Set some simple values -- just like we would with NSDictionary
[params setValue:@"Blake" forParam:@"name"];
[params setValue:@"[email protected]" forParam:@"email"];

// Create an Attachment
RKParamsAttachment* attachment = [params setFile:myFilePath forParam:@"image1"];
attachment.MIMEType = @"image/gif";
attachment.fileName = @"picture.gif";

// Attach an Image from the App Bundle
UIImage* image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"another_image.png"];
NSData* imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(image);
[params setData:imageData MIMEType:@"image/png" forParam:@"image2"];

// Let's examine the RKRequestSerializable info...
NSLog(@"RKParams HTTPHeaderValueForContentType = %@", [params HTTPHeaderValueForContentType]);
NSLog(@"RKParams HTTPHeaderValueForContentLength = %d", [params HTTPHeaderValueForContentLength]);

// Send a Request!
[[RKClient sharedClient] post:@"/uploadImages" params:params delegate:self];

Enjoy!
