AFNetworking 2.0 Request w. Custom Header

Question

Ive tried to avoid asking such a newb question on here, but im a Android dev learning IOS and I cant figure out for the life of me how to add a simple header to my post requests

Answer 1

Under AFHTTPRequestOperationManager you will notice a property called requestSerializer. This is of type AFHTTPRequestSerializer, and requests made through the HTTP manager are constructed with the headers specified by this object.

So, try this:

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = [AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];

[manager.requestSerializer setValue:@"SomeValue" forHTTPHeaderField:@"SomeHeaderField"]

//Make your requests

You can read the headers dictionary from the request serializer as follows:

manager.requestSerializer.HTTPRequestHeaders

Note that once you set a header this way, it will be used for all other operations!

Answer 2

 [manager.requestSerializer setAuthorizationHeaderFieldWithUsername:@"staging" password:@"dustylendpa"];
