The answer is this for anyone that need it in the future...

   NSURL *theURL = [NSURL URLWithString:@"yourURL"];
   NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:theURL      cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData timeoutInterval:20.0f];

   //Specify method of request(Get or Post)
   [theRequest setHTTPMethod:@"GET"];

    //Pass some default parameter(like content-type etc.)
   [theRequest setValue:@"application/json" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Accept"];
   [theRequest setValue:@"application/json; charset=UTF-8" forHTTPHeaderField:@"Content-Type"];

   //Now pass your own parameter

   [theRequest setValue:yourValue forHTTPHeaderField:theNameOfThePropertyValue];

   NSURLResponse *theResponse = NULL;
   NSError *theError = NULL;
   NSData *theResponseData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:theRequest returningResponse:&theResponse error:&theError];
   NSDictionary *dataDictionaryResponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:theResponseData options:0 error:&theError];
   NSLog(@"url to send request= %@",theURL);     
   NSLog(@"%@",dataDictionaryResponse);
