[SOLVED] GZip my AFNetworking posts to my server

GZip my AFNetworking posts to my server

My application posts large amounts of data, Orders with Order Items - sometimes 1000's, and I want to send it GZipped because my users also have crappy connections most of the time.

How can I accomplish this with AFnetworking?

I am currently using AFHTTPSessionManager to perform my posts.

Solution

You can use AFgzipRequestSerializer.

AFHTTPSessionManager *manager = [AFHTTPSessionManager manager];
manager.requestSerializer = [AFgzipRequestSerializer serializerWithSerializer:[AFJSONRequestSerializer serializer]];

[manager POST:@"http://example.com/"
   parameters:@{@"foo": @"bar"}
      success:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, id responseObject) {
        NSLog(@"%@", responseObject);
}
      failure:^(NSURLSessionDataTask *task, NSError *error) {
        NSLog(@"[Error] %@", error);
}];
