Content-Type JSON SIGABRT Error

Question

I am trying to parse JSON, and getting a SIGABRT Error: reason: '[<NSURLRequest 0x7e7e970> setValue:forUndefinedKey:]: this class is not key value coding-compliant for the key Content-Type.

My code is:

self.responseData = [NSMutableData data];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:
                         [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://dmsfw01.dev.com:8082/G.FQI/GVOLFQI.svc/Search(v)?Start=1&Count=10"]];

NSString *contentType = @"application/json";
[request setValue:contentType forKey:@"Content-Type"];

[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];

What should I do instead to set the Content-Type?

Answer 1

You are getting an error because you are using a Key Value Coding method that tries to set a property on request with the name Content-Type . Also you can not modify an NSURLRequest because it is immutable. Use an NSMutableURLRequest instead and then call - (void)setValue:(NSString *)value forHTTPHeaderField:(NSString *)field .

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:
                                [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://sw730voldmsfw01.vol1dev.com:8082/GVOL.FQI/GVOLFQI.svc/Search(visa)?Start=1&Count=10"]];

NSString *contentType = @"application/json";
[request setValue:contentType forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
