ASIHTTPRequest issue

Question

I am trying to develop an app which will use this Cytamobile-Vodafone webservice to login.

I have used HTTP Live Header add-on with Mozilla to get this one: %3D&HeaderLogin1%24CybeeUserName1%24txtUserName=mavris&HeaderLogin1%24CybeePassword1%24txtPassword=XXXXX&HeaderLogin1%24ibtnLogin.x=20&HeaderLogin1%24ibtnLogin.y=4 HTTP/1.1 302 Found

First I noticed that ibtnLogin.x and ibtnLogin.y have not the same value each time I am trying to login.

Second I wrote this code:

-(IBAction) buttonpressed { 

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"https://www.cytamobile-vodafone.com/miPortal/HeaderLoginBar.aspx"];

   ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
   [request setPostValue:@"xxxxxx" forKey:@"txtUserName"];
   [request setPostValue:@"xxxxxx" forKey:@"txtPassword"];
   [request setPostValue:@"31" forKey:@"ibtnLogin.x"];
   [request setPostValue:@"7" forKey:@"ibtnLogin.y"];
   [request setDelegate:self];
   [request startAsynchronous];
   [self requestFinished:request];

}

- (void)requestFinished:(ASIFormDataRequest *)request
{
    // Use when fetching text data

    NSString *responseString = [request responseStatusMessage];

    NSLog(@"Output = %@",responseString);
}

and I get:

  "Output = HTTP/1.1 200 OK" instead of 302 Found or any other error

What am I doing wrong here?

At least one of your problems is that your code shouldn't be calling [self requestFinished:request]; after [request startAsynchronous];

The startAsynchronous method starts an asynchronous request, so it will execute the request in a different thread and let you know when it's done.

When the request is complete, ASIHTTPRequest code will call the requestFinished: method. It the request fails, it will instead call requestFailed:. You don't call these methods, the ASIHTTPRequest code will. Check out the ASIHTTPRequest docs.

This the standard delegate pattern you'll see a lot in Objective-C (here is one question of many about delegation here on SO).
