Please do not post the same thing multiple times. The board software automatically flags certain posts as needing moderator attention. This happens the most often for new users. I'm pretty sure this is made clear at the time you attempt to post. Posting the same thing over and over again just makes that many more posts the moderators have to weed through later. This makes us sad. Don't make us sad. If your post/thread doesn't appear, just wait a while. Don't post it again. If it hasn't shown up by the next day, then you can try again. I normally go through posts in the mornings, and try to check a few times throughout the day, but I'm not here 24/7. There will typically be a significant delay before posts are approved. Just be patient.

    Have a look at the NSURLRequest class in the API docs.

    In particular

    – HTTPBody
    – HTTPMethod

    For example:


    	NSMutableString *httpBodyString;
    	NSURL *url;
            NSMutableString *urlString;
    	
    	httpBodyString=[[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@\"Name=The Big Bopper&Subject=Hello Baby&MsgBody=...You knooow what I like...Chantilly lace...\"];
    	urlString=[[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:@\"http://www.somedomain.com/contactform.php\"];

    	url=[[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];
    	[urlString release];
    	
    	NSMutableURLRequest *urlRequest=[NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
    	[url release];

    	[urlRequest setHTTPMethod:@\"POST\"];
    	[urlRequest setHTTPBody:[httpBodyString dataUsingEncoding:NSISOLatin1StringEncoding]];
    	[httpBodyString release];
    	
    	NSURLConnection *connectionResponse = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:urlRequest delegate:self];
    	
    	if (!connectionResponse)
    	{
    		NSLog(@\"Failed to submit request\");
    	}
    	else
    	{
    		NSLog(@\"--------- Request submitted ---------\");
    		NSLog(@\"connection: %@ method: %@, encoded body: %@, body: %a\", connectionResponse, [urlRequest HTTPMethod], [urlRequest HTTPBody], httpBodyString);
    		NSLog(@\"New connection retain count: %d\", [connectionResponse retainCount]);
    		responseData=[[NSMutableData data] retain];
    		NSLog(@\"response\", responseData);
    	}

    You could always do it as simple as stringWithContentsOfURL and pass a url with variables in it like 

    http://test.com/index.php?test=1&test2=2


    Or do it in an xmlparser if you need to parse the results.. Either will do the job..

    If you don't want the data in plain text, you can just send the block w/ method post using the above.
