REST Web API POST calling gives an error

Question

I want to send POST request to a web service from my iOS app. So far, I have sent a JSON object and it is working. Now I want to send data as parameters. I did something like this.

[request setValue:@"application/json;charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
        [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
        [request setHTTPBody:[NSData dataWithBytes:[postParam UTF8String] length:[postParam length]]];
 NSError *error = nil;
    NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error: &error];
    NSString *string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

This is my postParam string

action=approve&requestId=0&reqDetailId=21&nextApproverCode=0&authIpAddress=122.127.0.114&remarks=Test&approval=C

This is my request

<NSMutableURLRequest: 0x151323e60> { URL: http://<url>/Workflows/WorkflowApprovals? }

But I'm getting an error message

{"Message":"No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI 'http://<url>/Workflows/WorkflowApprovals'."}

What is the reason for this?
Thanks in advance

As it is a POST method you can't send in query string

Create one dictionary and and pass all the parameter in it

you can pass but its better not to pass in URL for POST type – Moin Shirazi Mar 25 '16 at 06:41
