I am trying to receive a JSON response in iPhone simulator using localhost web service.
I turned on Web sharing and placed the php file named "readmain.php" in /Library/WebServer/Documents
When i write "http://localhost/readmain.php" in Chrome, I see the result displayed perfectly.
But when I try to receive the response in my app, an error is received.
I am using ASIHTTPRequest
Here's the code:
NSURL *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@", HJServerAddress, @"readmain.php"];
DLog(@"request URL = %@", [url description])
self.httpRequest = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
self.httpRequest.delegate = self;
[self.httpRequest startAsynchronous];
[self.activityIndicator startAnimating];
Where HJServerAddress is: #define HJServerAddress @"http://localhost/"
Whenever the above piece of code executes, I get response from as failed in:
- (void)requestFailed:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request
{
DLog(@"error: %@", [request.error description])
ULog(@"Failed to load data")
}
In Logs I get:
2012-09-24 17:44:06.153 _APPNAME_[1798:f803] -[HJHomeViewController fetchAddsJson] [Line 122] request URL = "http://localhost/readmain.php"
2012-09-24 17:44:46.457 _APPNAME_[1798:f803] -[HJHomeViewController requestFailed:] [Line 478] error: Error Domain=ASIHTTPRequestErrorDomain Code=10 "NSInvalidArgumentException" UserInfo=0x69656e0 {NSLocalizedFailureReason=-[__NSCFString absoluteURL]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0xb650510, NSUnderlyingError=0x6960460 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (ASIHTTPRequestErrorDomain error 10.)", NSLocalizedDescription=NSInvalidArgumentException}
I had also tried to use the IP address of my MAC instead of using "localhost".
I tried accessing the file from iOS simulator's Safari and the response was received successfully.
I am unable to receive the response in my underdevelopment app. Am I doing something wrong in my code? Or is there something more to be done?
Thanks!
