Answer 1

I was experiencing this problem while using Alamofire. My mistake was that I was sending an empty dictionary [:] for the parameters on a GET request, rather than sending nil parameters.

Hope this helps!

If anyone is getting this error while uploading files to a backend server, make sure the receiving server has a maximum content size that is allowable for your media. In my case, NGINX required a higher client_max_body_size. NGINX would reject the request before the uploading was done so no error code came back.

Whenever got error -1005 then need to call API Again.

AFHTTPRequestOperationManager *manager = 
[AFHTTPRequestOperationManager manager];
[manager setSecurityPolicy:policy];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFHTTPRequestSerializer serializer];
manager.responseSerializer = [AFHTTPResponseSerializer serializer];

[manager POST:<example-url>
   parameters:<parameteres>
    success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
      NSLog(@“Success: %@", responseObject);
  } failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
      NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
      if (error.code == -1005) {
          // Call method again... 
       }
  }];

You need to Add your code to call function again. MakeSure that you were call method once otherwise its call recursive loop.

My problem was on the server. I was using Python's BaseHTTPRequestHandler class and I wasn't sending a body in the response. My problem was solved when I put an empty body like the following.

def do_POST(self):
    content_len = int(self.headers.get('Content-Length'))
    post_body = self.rfile.read(content_len)
    msg_string = post_body.decode("utf-8")
    msg_json = json.loads(msg_string)
    self.send_response(200)
    self.end_headers() #this and the following lines were missing
    self.wfile.write(b'')

I had to exit XCode, delete DerivedData folder contents (~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData or /Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData) and exit simulator to make this work.
