How to post multiple data to web server

Question

I have below code for posting data to the web server but it gives me null response, I have multiple data and they are:-

date,
 rig,
 driller,
 offsider-1,
 offsider-2,
 shift
,
project,
supervisoremail,
geologistemail,

comments,


plants[0][name-id],
plants[0][start-usage],
plants[0][end-usage],

consumables[0][category],
consumables[0][name-id],
consumables[0][used],
consumables[0][code],
consumables[0][description],

I have to post this data and I used this code for posting but it didn't work for me. Please help me out.

NSURL *url=[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mydor.com.au/staff/dor/idorInsert"];
    NSString *post =[[NSString alloc]initWithFormat:@"date=15/08/2012&rig=53&driller=207&offsider-1=131&offsider- 2=236&shift=day&project=24&supervisoremail=24&geologistemail=24&comments=&plants[0][name- id]=286&plants[0][start-usage]=1.0&plants[0][end-usage]=0.0"];
    NSLog(post);
    NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];

    NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]];

    NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init] autorelease];
    [request setURL:url];
    [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
    [request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
    [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [request setHTTPBody:postData];
    [NSURLRequest setAllowsAnyHTTPSCertificate:YES forHost:[url host]];

    NSError *error;
    NSURLResponse *response;
    NSData *urlData=[NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:&response error:&error];
    NSLog(@"here u re");
    NSString *data=[[NSString alloc]initWithData:urlData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"here also called");
    NSLog(@"%@",data)

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that your "post" string is really the body? It looks more like a query string that should be appended to the URL. — sc0rp10n, May 22 '12 at 21:44

Here is an article which demonstrates how to consume .NET Web service using iOS application. You can use the techniques discussed in the article:

Almost all the work I do involves .NET with iOS. Have a look here for the network class I wrote and use all the time (AFNetworking based). I prefer to use a regular aspx form instead of an asmx web-service. I do this because I don't want to expose any web-methods to snooping visitors and I use an API key check before returning anything in the aspx form. I can send you an example .NET code (written in VB.NET) if you need me to.

Can you tell me which method is appropriate for me from your suggested methods and can I use my code which i posted with little changes or I have to made changes at your way.Please tell me what is wrong in my method, am I sending data in wrong way or where is the fault. Please guide. Thank You. – Jprat May 23 '12 at 00:21
The network class I referred to would be used instead of NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection. The methods in the network class are pretty self-explanatory. – LJ Wilson May 23 '12 at 00:32
