Hello, I'm trying to delete the files from the Parse database using REST API (complete delete).
This is the CURL code given at Parse website:
curl -X DELETE \
-H "X-Parse-Application-Id: <YOUR_APPLICATION_ID>" \
-H "X-Parse-Master-Key: <YOUR_MASTER_KEY>" \
https://api.parse.com/1/files/<FILE_NAME>
And this is my objective c code:
PFFile *file = [self.selectedMessage objectForKey:@"file"];
[self.selectedMessage deleteInBackgroundWithBlock:^(BOOL succeeded, NSError *error){
if (error) {
NSLog(@"%@ %@", error, [error userInfo]);
} else {
//Getting the unique file name attached to the selected message.
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:file.url];
NSString *fileName = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@",fileURL.pathComponents[2]];
//Creating the CURL request.
NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"https://api.parse.com/1/files/%@", fileName];
NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:urlString];
NSMutableURLRequest *restAPI = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[restAPI setHTTPMethod:@"DELETE"];
[restAPI setValue:@"MY APP KEY" forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-Parse-Application-Id"];
[restAPI setValue:@"MY MASTER KEY" forHTTPHeaderField:@"X-Parse-Master-Key"];
NSURLConnection *connection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:restAPI delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
}
}];
I've never done this before, and unfortunately there is no way to check if it worked on Parse.com
What do you think?
P.S. I have this annoying unused variable notification about *connection... even though I don't need to use it again right? once I initialize it, it runs.. Maybe I should add
[connection cancel]
after this?

18,947 PointsI don't know if this code is working or not, and there is no way to check it on the Parse web interface.. By theory everything is implemented right? it should work? And should I add the connection cancel at the end?
