a= [a stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:@"'" withString:@"\"" options:NSCaseInsensitiveSearch range:NSMakeRange (0, [a length])];  
NSData* postData= [a dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];  
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https:***********your url"]];  
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];  
[request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", postData.length] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];  
[request setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];   
[request setHTTPBody:postData];  
NSURLResponse *response = NULL;   
NSError *requestError = NULL;   
NSData *responseData1 = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&requestError];   
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:responseData1 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];   
 }

HttpRequestSenderDelegate.h

@protocol HttpRequestSenderDelegate <NSObject>

-(void) didFinishLoading:(BOOL)success data:(NSData*)data;

@end

HttpPostRequestSender.h

@protocol HttpRequestSenderDelegate;

            NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:nsurl
                                                                   cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy

        }

        @end

in your view controller : MyViewController.h

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>
#import "HttpRequestSenderDelegate.h"

    @interface MyViewController : UIViewController <HttpRequestSenderDelegate>
    @end

MyViewController.m

    #import "MyViewController.h"
        #import "HttpPostRequestSender.h"


        @interface MyViewController ()
        @property (nonatomic, strong) HttpPostRequestSender *requestSender;
        @end

        @implementation MyViewController
        @synthesize requestSender = _requestSender;

    -(HttpPostRequestSender*) requestSender
    {
        if(_requestSender == nil) _requestSender = [[HttpPostRequestSender alloc] initWithDelegate:self];
        return _requestSender;
    }

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
     //for example i send the request in the view did load

     [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = YES;
     NSString *url = @"your url";
     //post params
     NSString *postParams =@"login=sdsd&password=sdsd&email=sdsd@hotmail.fr";
     [self.requestSender send:url postParams:postParams];
}           

- (void) didFinishLoading:(BOOL)success data:(NSData *)data
{
    [UIApplication sharedApplication].networkActivityIndicatorVisible = NO;
    if(success && data != nil) {
          //here you can parse the response
    }
}

@end
