POBase64 Over HTTP POST losing data (Objective-C)
text
Body
copied!<p>I currently have a HTTP POST Request and a Base64 Encoding Library, I encode my image to B64 then send it over HTTP via the POST method.</p> <p>I output the Base64 to XCodes console, copy and paste it and it works perfectly. Although the Base64 I store within the Database (MongoDB, Plain Text File etc) always comes out corrupt on the other end.</p> <p>Working Version (Copied and Pasted from XCode): <a href="http://dontpanicrabbit.com/api/working.php">http://dontpanicrabbit.com/api/working.php</a> Broken Version (From MongoDB Database): <a href="http://dontpanicrabbit.com/api/grabimage.php">http://dontpanicrabbit.com/api/grabimage.php</a></p> <p>If you view the source you'll notice they are the same but there is added whitespace into the broken version.</p> <p>The Objective-C code I am using is:</p> <pre><code>MyImage.image = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage]; NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation(MyImage.image, 0); [Base64 initialize]; NSString *encoded = [Base64 encode:imageData]; NSString *urlPOST = encoded; //NSLog(@"%@",encoded); NSString *varyingString1 = @"picture="; NSString *varyingString2 = urlPOST; NSString *post = [NSString stringWithFormat: @"%@%@", varyingString1, varyingString2]; NSLog(@"%@", post); //NSString *post = @"image=%@",urlPOST; NSData *postData = [post dataUsingEncoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES]; NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [postData length]]; NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init]; [request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"url/api/insertimage.php"]]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; [request setHTTPBody:postData]; NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest: request returningResponse: nil error: nil]; NSString *strResult = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]; </code></pre> <p>PHP -> MongoDB Storage</p> <pre><code><?php try { // open connection to MongoDB server $conn = new Mongo('localhost'); // access database $db = $conn->dablia; // access collection $collection = $db->images; // insert a new document $item = array( 'picture' => $_POST['picture'] ); $collection->insert($item); echo 'Inserted document with ID: ' . $item['_id']; // disconnect from server $conn->close(); } catch (MongoConnectionException $e) { die('Error connecting to MongoDB server'); } catch (MongoException $e) { die('Error: ' . $e->getMessage()); } ?> </code></pre> <p>Output Code:</p> <pre><code><?php try { // open connection to MongoDB server $conn = new Mongo('localhost'); // access database $db = $conn->dablia; // access collection $collection = $db->images; // execute query // retrieve all documents $cursor = $collection->find(); // iterate through the result set // print each document foreach ($cursor as $obj) { echo '<img src="data:image/jpeg;base64,'.trim($obj['picture']).'">'; } // disconnect from server $conn->close(); } catch (MongoConnectionException $e) { die('Error connecting to MongoDB server'); } catch (MongoException $e) { die('Error: ' . $e->getMessage()); } ?> </code></pre> <p>I have no idea why I seem to be corrupting over POST?</p>
