 Byte *byteData= (Byte*)malloc(len);  //converting date to byte array
 [self.dataImage  getBytes:byteData length:len];


 ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]];

Try Like this,

    NSData *imageData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(self.dataImage ,0.1);
 ASIFormDataRequest *request = [ASIFormDataRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlStr]];
  [request setRequestMethod:@"POST"];


 [request addData:imageData withFileName:@"Image.png" andContentType:@"image/png" forKey:@"photo"];
 [request setDelegate:self];
 [request startAsynchronous];

I solved this by replacing

         [request addData:imageData withFileName:@"Image.png" andContentType:@"image/png" forKey:@"photo"];

with

       [request appendPostData:self.dataImage];
