cURL upload photo command in NSMutableURLRequest format

Rambatino

I know this may seem specific to the issue at hand, however, this is me trying to avoid the horrible UploadCare usage of cocoa pods which contains a significant (and rather outdated) amount of dependencies, to JUST upload a file (and subsequently download it at a later date).

I'm struggling to translate the '-F' options in the cURL command. I understand that they specify HTTP multipart POST data, but converting this into NSMutableData with the picture file attached is difficult. I keep receiving a 403 status code.

The cURL command is:

curl -F "UPLOADCARE_PUB_KEY=e84a031b3da1g560d56d"  \
-F "UPLOADCARE_STORE=1"  \
-F "[email protected]" https://upload.uploadcare.com/base/

My current attempt is:

NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 0.6);
if (imageData) {
    [body appendData:[@"UPLOADCARE_PUB_KEY=e84a031b3da1g560d56d" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[@"UPLOADCARE_STORE=1" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"file="] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:imageData];
}

NSURLSessionConfiguration *sessionConfiguration = [NSURLSessionConfiguration defaultSessionConfiguration];

NSURLSession *session = [NSURLSession sessionWithConfiguration:sessionConfiguration delegate:self delegateQueue:nil];

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:baseUrl];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
request.HTTPMethod = @"POST";
request.HTTPBody = imageData;
NSURLSessionDataTask *uploadTask = [session dataTaskWithRequest:request completionHandler:^(NSData *data, NSURLResponse *response, NSError *error) {
    NSLog(@"%@",response);
}];
[uploadTask resume];

What am I doing wrong with the NSMutableData?

A second, and related question is: Is it worth using an objective-C lib curl wrapper at all?

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"https://upload.uploadcare.com/base/"]];

    UIImage *image = [UIImage imageNamed:@"image.jpg"];
    NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(image, 1.0);

    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];

    NSString *boundary = @"unique-consistent-string";

    // set Content-Type in HTTP header
    NSString *contentType = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"multipart/form-data; boundary=%@", boundary];
    [request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField: @"Content-Type"];

    // post body
    NSMutableData *body = [NSMutableData data];

    // add params (all params are strings)
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=%@\r\n\r\n", @"UPLOADCARE_PUB_KEY"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r\n", @"demopublickey"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=%@\r\n\r\n", @"UPLOADCARE_STORE"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@\r\n", @"1"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    // add image data
    if (imageData) {
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"Content-Disposition: form-data; name=file; filename=image.jpg\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:[@"Content-Type: image/jpeg\r\n\r\n" dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
        [body appendData:imageData];
        [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"\r\n"] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
    }

    [body appendData:[[NSString stringWithFormat:@"--%@--\r\n", boundary] dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];

    // setting the body of the post to the reqeust
    [request setHTTPBody:body];

    // set the content-length
    NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [body length]];
    [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];

    [NSURLConnection sendAsynchronousRequest:request
                                       queue:[NSOperationQueue currentQueue]
                           completionHandler:^(NSURLResponse *response, NSData *data, NSError *error) {

                               if (data.length > 0) {
                                   NSLog(@"%@", [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]);
                               }
    }];
