I am converting an Objective C project into swift and as a result, I need to use Alamofire instead of AFNetworking. The server I need to make HTTP calls to expects parameters in JSON format but responds in text/html. When I test the requests in Objc, it works but on swift and alamofire, the response data is nil. I have done this previously using AFNetworking responseSerializer and set the acceptable content types to all 4 possible types. I just can't seem to make this work with Alamofire. I have used any help and tutorials out there but I am banging my head to the ceiling each time. Te errors I get are usually Unable to determine byte size or responseSerializationFailed(reason: Alamofire.AFError.ResponseSerializationFailureReason.inputDataNilOrZeroLength.
Here is sample code I have used so far:
let urlString = "\(K.APIKs.kInsecureProtocol)\(K.APIKs.KBaseURL)\(K.APIKs.kSignupURL)"
let parameters: Parameters = [K.SignUPKs.kMSISDN: number]
AF.request(urlString, method: .get, parameters: parameters, encoding: JSONEncoding.default).responseJSON { (response) in
switch response.result {
case .success:
self.authorisingSignUpDelegate?.onAuthorisingSignUpSuccess()
break
case .failure(let error):
self.authorisingSignUpDelegate?.onAuthorisingSignUpFailed(error: error)
break
}
}
then tried setting the acceptable content types:
if let url = URL(string: urlString) {
var urlRequest = URLRequest(url: url)
urlRequest.httpMethod = HTTPMethod.post.rawValue
urlRequest.addValue("application/json", forHTTPHeaderField: "content-type")
urlRequest.addValue("text/html", forHTTPHeaderField: "accept")
urlRequest.httpBody = try? JSONSerialization.data(withJSONObject: parameters, options: .prettyPrinted)
let request = AF.request(urlRequest)
.response { response in
print("Request: \(String(describing: response.request))") // original URL request
print("---------------------------")
print("HTTP URL response: \(String(describing: response.response))") // HTTP URL response
print("---------------------------")
print("Data: \(String(describing: response.data))") // server data
print("---------------------------")
print("Result of Reponse Serialization \(response.result)") // result of response serialization
print("---------------------------")
print("Error \(response.error)") // result of response serialization
print("---------------------------")
print("JSON: \(response.result)")
}
}
None of the methods I have tried work. Can anyone help me please? Thanks a million!
