I am using the AFNetworking Framework to facilitate photo uploads to a website. The uploads work fine, but I need to show progress in a UIProgressView. Problem is, the progress moves from 0 to 100% a second or so after the upload starts and sits at 100% for some time depending on the number of photos being uploaded. I am uploading between 1 and 6 photos at a time using a single request. Any ideas on what's going on here? Is AFNetworking not including the size of the photos?
It shows properly in NSLOG:

Here's the code:
NSString *numberOfPhotosAsString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", numberOfPhotos];
NSString *fileBase = @"file0_";
NSString *fileNameBase = @"SourceName_";
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.mywebsite.com"];
AFHTTPClient *httpClient = [[AFHTTPClient alloc] initWithBaseURL:url];
NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
numberOfPhotosAsString, @"PackageFileCount",
wtID, @"wtID",
@"PU", @"type",
nil];
for (int i= 0; i < numberOfPhotos; i++)
{
[params setObject:[fileNames objectAtIndex:i] forKey:[fileNameBase stringByAppendingFormat:@"%i", i]];
}
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [httpClient multipartFormRequestWithMethod:@"POST" path:@"/ReceivePhoto.aspx" parameters:params constructingBodyWithBlock: ^(id <AFMultipartFormData>formData) {
for (int i = 0; i < numberOfPhotos; i++)
{
// may want to experiment with the compression quality (0.5 currently)
NSData *imageData = UIImageJPEGRepresentation([images objectAtIndex:i], 0.5);
[formData appendPartWithFileData:imageData name:[fileBase stringByAppendingFormat:@"%i", i] fileName:[fileNames objectAtIndex:i] mimeType:@"image/jpeg"];
}
}];
AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation = [[AFHTTPRequestOperation alloc] initWithRequest:request];
[operation setUploadProgressBlock:^(NSInteger bytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesWritten, NSInteger totalBytesExpectedToWrite) {
NSLog(@"Sent %d of %d bytes", totalBytesWritten, totalBytesExpectedToWrite);
float progress = totalBytesWritten / totalBytesExpectedToWrite;
[selectLabel setText:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", progress]];
[progressView setProgress: progress];
//[testProgressView setProgress:progress];
}];
[operation setCompletionBlockWithSuccess:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, id responseObject) {
[self imageRequestDidFinish];
}
failure:^(AFHTTPRequestOperation *operation, NSError *error) {
NSLog(@"error: %@", operation.responseString);
}
];
