I am trying to POST a user to a rails backed server but I am getting an odd error. When I press submit, I get a 404 error in the log and the read out that says the page does not exist. Like so:
Error: Error Domain=AFNetworkingErrorDomain Code=-1011 "Expected status code in (200-299), got 404" UserInfo=0xc03c140 {NSLocalizedRecoverySuggestion=<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>The page you were looking for doesn't exist (404)</title>
<style type="text/css">
body { background-color: #fff; co...
Below, in the log it prints the failing url
AFNetworkingOperationFailingURLRequestErrorKey=<NSMutableURLRequest: 0xc033300> { URL: http://example.herokuapp.com/users },
So the log clims that this page does not exist, yet if I copy and paste the url- the page does indeed exist, and I have already been able to post to it from the webview. For some reason afnetworking or the nsmutbleURLrequest is claiming the page doesn't exist, when it does... I mean I don't want to say that the computer is mistaken, but what's going on here? I've cleaned xcode and quit and nothing like that fixed this. Has anyone had this happen?
This is the code I am using to make the request:
+ (void)createUserWithUsername:(NSString *)signature
email:(NSString *)email
password:(NSString *)password
block:(void (^)(User *user))block
{
NSDictionary *parameters = @{@"signature": signature,
@"email": email,
@"password": password
};
[[APIClient sharedClient] postPath:@"/users" parameters:parameters success:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
User *user = [[User alloc] initWithDictionary:responseObject];
if (block) {
block(user);
}
} failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"Error: %@", error);
if (block) {
block(nil);
}
}];
}
And this is what the json looks like from the succesful posts I've made from the web side
{"created_at":"2013-07-18T04:05:36Z","email":"grant@gmail.com","id":1,"signature":grant,"updated_at":"2013-07-18T04:05:36Z"}
So after using Charles to compare successful to failing post requests I see the failing posts get a 406 error. This error is probably correct because both successful and failing posts have the same post path. So I don't think its a 404 like it said before. But 406? In the log for the failing request there is no ref to a problem with the fact that its content-type is json.. This is the console log
headers {
"Cache-Control" = "no-cache";
"Content-Type" = "application/json; charset=utf-8";

Though the content-types are different (text/html v json) I don't think this is the problem. Both types should be accepted - and usually xcode would say unexpected content type. Can you see anything else that is incompatible that might be causing the 406 error?
