cocoa touch - iPhone - Corrupt JPEG data for image received over HTTP

Question

I'm getting an image over HTTP, using NSURLConnection, as follows -

NSMutableData *receivedData;

- (void)getImage {
    self.receivedData = [[NSMutableData alloc] init];
    NSURLConnection *theConnection = // create connection
}

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {    
   [receivedData appendData:data];
}

-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection {
   [connection release];

   UIImage *theImage = [UIImage imageWithData:receivedData];
}

Usually it works just fine, but sometimes I'm seeing this get logged - : Corrupt JPEG data: premature end of data segment

At this point, the image does not completely render. I'll see maybe 75% of it, and then the lower right hand corner is a grey box.

Any ideas on how to approach fixing this? Am I constructing my image improperly?

Answer 1

Your HTTP code looks correct. You might want to log the size of the receivedData once it's done loading and compare it to the expected size of the image on the server. If it's the expected size, then maybe the image itself is corrupted on the server.
