I am trying to create a class that allows me to send POST requests to a website whose content type is application / x-www-form-urlencoded. The code I am using is as follows:

import Foundation
class HTTPClient {


 func getStringResponse(url: String, method: String, charset: String, parametros: [String: Any], headers: [String: Any])->String{
 var htmlCode = ""

 connectionRequest(url: url, method: method, charset: charset, parametros: parametros, headers: headers, callback: {
  (data, error) in
  htmlCode = data
 })

 while htmlCode == "" {

 }

 return htmlCode
 }


func connectionRequest(url: String, method: String, charset: String, parametros: [String: Any], headers: [String: Any], callback: @escaping (String, String!) -> Void)
 {
  let myUrl = NSURL(string: url)
  let request = NSMutableURLRequest(url: myUrl! as URL)

 request.httpMethod = method

 if method == Constantes.METHOD_POST
 {
  var postString = ""

  for parametro in parametros
  {
  if postString.isEmpty
  {
  var cadena = parametro.key
  cadena.append("=")
  cadena.append(parametro.value as! String)
  postString.append(cadena)
  }
  else
  {
  var cadena = "&"
  cadena.append(parametro.key)
  cadena.append("=")
  cadena.append(parametro.value as! String)
  postString.append(cadena)
  }
  }


  var httpHeaders = [String: String]()
  httpHeaders["Cache-Control"] = "no-cache"
  httpHeaders["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

  for header in headers
  {
  httpHeaders[header.key] = header.value as! String
  }

  let encodeParameters: Data = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8, allowLossyConversion: false)!
  let decodeParameters = String(data: encodeParameters, encoding: .utf8)

  request.allHTTPHeaderFields=httpHeaders
  request.httpBody = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8, allowLossyConversion: false)

 }


  let task = URLSession.shared.dataTask(with: request as URLRequest) { data, response, error in
  if error == nil {
  let htmlCode = String(data: data!, encoding: .ascii)
  callback(htmlCode!, nil)
  return
  }
  }

 task.resume()
}

With this class if the parameter are simple, like "?name=One&surname=Two&city=City", this class works propertly. My problem is for large params. If I try to send next parameters it´s not working.

I can´t add the value of parameters, so I add the link of this question I posted on stackoverflow that include the parma values: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58474729/how-to-send-large-post-parameters-with-urlsession

In my code, the variable decodeParameters have not the same value than postString after do the encode and decode process. Exists any limitation on the length of this type of parameters?

Answered by Diego Cid in 403637022

I have finally resolved the error. The problem was not in this class, which works perfectly, the problem was that the parameter that was received was not properly scraped to use as a parameter. So I has created this function to encode the parameters before call the class that I posted previously. func encodeParamenters(parametro: String) -> String { let allowedCharacterSet = (CharacterSet(charactersIn: "!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[] ").inverted) let escapedString = parametro.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: allowedCharacterSet) ?? "" return escapedString }

Reading the referenced post, it seems that your specific issue is that the

decodeParameters

value doesn’t match the original

postString

value. If so, I’m not able to reproduce this. Consider this code snippet:

let postString = … from the referenced post …
let encodeParameters: Data = postString.data(using: String.Encoding.utf8, allowLossyConversion: false)!
let decodeParameters = String(data: encodeParameters, encoding: .utf8)
print(postString == decodeParameters)

On my machine this prints

true

, indicating that the string survived the encode / decode process.

And, just to be super concrete about this, pasted in below is the full source of my test. Here I’ve encoded

postString

value as hex in order to make DevForums happy.

In short, I’m not sure what your actual problem is, but I’m pretty sure that it’s not your encode / decode process.

Thank you very much for your answer. My main problem is that making the call to the web with the parameters of the form is returning an error due to incorrect parameters. As I commented in my post, other websites with simpler parameters are correctly configured, so he began to distrust the passing of parameters due to its length. What does not fit me is how the check is returning you a true one, when reviewing the values at runtime are the ones I have put in the related post. The truth is that I am a bit frustrated with the issue because it is something that should work without a problem and I do not understand how it could be causing problems.

I strongly suspect that the parameters are not making it on the ‘wire’ the way that you think they are. I wrote up my some general advice on this topic in Debugging HTTP Server-Side Errors.

Hi have review your post, and I have checked that the response code was 200, but in the body (html) there was a text that indicates that there was an error of validation. So my question now is if it´s possible that the system have sending the request two times. In this case of validation, the parameters only are valids one time.

[is it] possible that the system have sending the request two times. In this case of validation, the parameters only are valids one time.

Certainly. There are various circumstances under which CFNetwork will retransmit requests. It shouldn’t retransmit a POST request (the HTTP RFCs make it very clear that POSTs are not idempotent) unless it’s sure that no part of the request made it to the server, but it’s always possible that something has gone wrong with that limiter.

If you’re concerned about this, you can rule it out using various debugging tools. Probably the easiest would be CFNetwork diagnostic logging.

I have finally resolved the error. The problem was not in this class, which works perfectly, the problem was that the parameter that was received was not properly scraped to use as a parameter. So I has created this function to encode the parameters before call the class that I posted previously. func encodeParamenters(parametro: String) -> String { let allowedCharacterSet = (CharacterSet(charactersIn: "!*'();:@&=+$,/?%#[] ").inverted) let escapedString = parametro.addingPercentEncoding(withAllowedCharacters: allowedCharacterSet) ?? "" return escapedString }
