That's not going to work. Not all series of bytes are valid UTF-8, and in non-textual data like an image you're practically guaranteed to run into illegal UTF-8 sequences pretty quickly. The result will be a nil NSString. If you want a string encoding that supports arbitrary byte values, try NSWindowsCP1252StringEncoding, which is the default encoding used on Windows. (It's a superset of ISO-8859 that includes encodings for 80-9F.) You also haven't done any URL-encoding of the resulting string. Call stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: on the resulting string, but use NSWindowsCP1252StringEncoding as the encoding parameter (or whatever other 8-bit encoding you used.) —Jens PS: Off-topic, I can't believe the Tumblr engineers invented a protocol that's going to almost triple the size of the image data. It's not REST, or even the normal way that HTTP forms upload file attachments.
