I’m not sure which part (I think that some details were missing) was responsible, but I did it finally 🙂 here you go:
-(void)uploadPhoto{
AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager alloc] initWithBaseURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://server.url"]];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(self.avatarView.image, 0.5);
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"username": self.username, @"password" : self.password};
AFHTTPRequestOperation *op = [manager POST:@"rest.of.url" parameters:parameters constructingBodyWithBlock:^(id<AFMultipartFormData> formData) {
//do not put image inside parameters dictionary as I did, but append it!
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:paramNameForImage fileName:@"photo.jpg" mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
} success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
NSLog(@"Success: %@ ***** %@", operation.responseString, responseObject);
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@ ***** %@", operation.responseString, error);
}];
[op start];
}
Works like a charm 🙂
