- by user289348
Download http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/. This works like a charm and is a good wrapper and handles things nicely. The make the request this way to the asp.net code listed below.
Create a asp.net webpage that has a file control.
IPHONE CODE:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://YourWebSite/Upload.aspx"];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
//These two must be added. ASP.NET Looks for them, if
//they are not there in the request, the file will not upload
[request setPostValue:@"" forKey:@"__VIEWSTATE"];
[request setPostValue:@"" forKey:@"__EVENTVALIDATION"];
[request setFile:@"PATH_TO_Local_File_on_Iphone/file/jpg" forKey:@"fu"];
[request startSynchronous];
