Uploading Video Files to Web Server

Uploading video files in iphone projects is very cumbersome.
This Blog describes how to upload video files on server using ASIFormDataRequest Method.

NSURL *urlvideo = [info objectForKey:UIImagePickerControllerMediaURL];


urlvideo contains the URL of that video file that has to be uploaded. Then convert the url into NSString type because setFile method requires NSString as a parameter

NSString *urlString=[urlvideo path];

NSLog(@"urlString=%@",urlString);
NSString *str = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"path of server"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:[str stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setFile:urlString forKey:@"key foruploadingFile"];
[request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];
[request setDelegate:self];
[request startSynchronous];
NSLog(@"responseStatusCode %i",[request responseStatusCode]);
NSLog(@"responseStatusCode %@",[request responseString]);
