IOS - Format Url send to Server

Question

I have a format url like this:

NSString *url1 = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",http:abc.com/check?para1= 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...,1000&Param2= 1,2,3...,1000&Param3=12:12:12.000&Param4=1.12310&Param5=http:yahoo.com/adsf.html]

Im using

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url1]]; [request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"]; [request setValue:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%d", [url1 length]] forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-length"]; [request setValue:@"text/plain" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-type"];
    [request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
    [NSURLConnection connectionWithRequest:request delegate:self];

    NSData *returnData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
    NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
    NSLog(@"response - %@",responseString);

but I can't send to server, Can you guide me this problem?

If you can't communicate with the server directly, try using a computer and a modem, those might be better at the subject. — user529758
I can't send to server althought Im using method Post, "url1" limited at 2088 character, I wanna send "url1" to server — BlueSky
Use cURL(command line) or cocoa-rest-client to test if they string is accepted by the server — Shams Ahmed

I modified your code, please try this :

NSMutableURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] init];
NSString *url1       = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@", @"para1= 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...,1000&Param2= 1,2,3...,1000&Param3=12:12:12.000&Param4=1.12310&Param5=http:yahoo.com/adsf.html"];
NSData *postData     = [url1 dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding allowLossyConversion:YES];    
NSString *postLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%u", [postData length]];
[request setURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http:abc.com/check"]];
[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
[request setValue:@"Close" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Connection"];
[request setValue:postLength forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Length"];
[request setValue:@"text/plain" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-type"];
[request setValue:@"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];
[request setHTTPBody:postData];    
NSData *returnData       = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];
NSString *responseString = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(@"response - %@",responseString);

May it can help you.

I suspect you're doing it wrong and try put the POST body into the URL.

the url can't be that long then.
