ObjC - Post a UIImage by using NSData and NSURLRequest?

I'm trying to post an image to TwitPic.com using their API.

However, I have never posted an image using HTTPPOST or however else before.

Anybody enlighten me to how I can post NSData from a UIImage using their api?

Instead of setPostValue for the image, use setData instead.

@Jamie:

Try:

[request setData:twitpicImage forKey:@"media"];

If the image view is actually displaying an image that is stored in a file on disk, use:

[request setFile:theImagePath forKey:@"media"];

This way, ASIHTTPRequest will stream the image data from disk, so you don't have to keep an NSData instance in memory.

Use the UIImagePNGRepresentation function or its JPEG equivalent to turn a UIImage into an NSData:

TwitPic is expecting a multi-part form data. There is a great open source library called ASIHTTPRequest.

You can use their APIs and post your image as multi-part/form-data.

See below for the sample.
