iPhone/Objective-C - Strange error when passing string to method

Question

I am using http://www.sudzc.com/ to access SOAP Web Services in my iPhone application. I have a method in ASP.NET that takes a string and returns a string (facebook access token to be exact).

This string is the following:

iOCCeM4WGIwBlDxECRFr4AfIEsW598Z4sYjk2uMxsyo.eyJpdiI6IkZPQlN1YWlGNXY0aWs3SmFMWFUwcVEifQ.ITh3ZBGrbgU8DsYWz6d-S4Q1iNlQ8DwKGZB6RZvOkTUpa0VmW7qFS6MO1tkauHoJMFrOlwSrvVuMEO_SQTh8xtR2d0219PPSshiYBHYkjsokSYTuyIaSclVIrL2vh7xH

Every now and then I get an error like the following in my application and I'm not quite sure why. The actual string is a nvarchar(255) field within my database.

This error does not happen all the time. But it has happened quite a few times.

Any help would be greatly appreciated as to how I can fix this issue.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Looks like my web service is down and I'm simply not handling it properly in Objective-C. Hence why it's returning HTML (ASP.NET error page) instead of the string.
