NSMutableURLRequest setAllHTTPHeaderFields example ios

setAllHTTPHeaderFields:

Replaces the receiver's header fields with the passed values.

- (void)setAllHTTPHeaderFields:(NSDictionary *)headerFields

Parameters of [NSMutableURLRequest setAllHTTPHeaderFields]

headerFields

A dictionary with the new header fields. HTTP header fields must be string values; therefore, each object and key in the headerFields dictionary must be a subclass of NSString. If either the key or value for a key-value pair is not a subclass of NSString, the key-value pair is skipped.

Example of [NSMutableURLRequest setAllHTTPHeaderFields]

NSDictionary *properties = [NSDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                            @"domain.com", NSHTTPCookieDomain,
                            @"\\", NSHTTPCookiePath,  // IMPORTANT!
                            @"testCookies", NSHTTPCookieName,
                            @"1", NSHTTPCookieValue,
                            nil];
NSHTTPCookie *cookie = [NSHTTPCookie cookieWithProperties:properties];

NSArray* cookies = [NSArray arrayWithObjects: cookie, nil];

NSDictionary * headers = [NSHTTPCookie requestHeaderFieldsWithCookies:cookies];

[request setAllHTTPHeaderFields:headers];
