how send file (txt/XML) from iphone to server(web or email)

Question

Hi I want to send text or XML from iphone to another desktop machine. Is there any way so that I can use Email to send file as attachment or can send it by HTTP POST method.

Answer 1

You can HTTP POST it:

NSString * xmlString = @"Hello";

NSURL * serviceUrl = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://my.company.com/myservice"];
NSMutableURLRequest * serviceRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:serviceUrl];
[serviceRequest setValue:@"text/xml" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-type"];
[serviceRequest setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[serviceRequest setHTTPBody:[xmlString dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]];

NSURLResponse * serviceResponse;
NSError * serviceError;
serviceResponse = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:serviceRequest returningResponse:&serviceResponse error:&serviceError];

You can also set other HTTP Header such as content-length the same way.

Hope this helps,
