Rotate UIImage (a lot harder than it should be)

I have an app that uses the camera to take a picture and upload it to a server. The problem is once it gets to the server it is rotated. I know this is related to the EXIF meta data on the image that rotates it in the iPhone.

I've tried a few solutions found here at StackOverflow and I also tried putting the image into an imageView then drawing the image with UIImageJPEGRepresentation. Nothing seems to get the job done.

Has anyone here encountered this and found a good solution?

Thanks

See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/538041/uiimagepickercontroller-camera-preview-is-portrait-in-landscape-app -- it worked for me. – Jon Reid Aug 14 '11 at 05:03
Check out [UIImage imageOrientation], that might help. – msgambel Aug 14 '11 at 05:28
Thanks Jon Reid. I actually tried that earlier and it didn't seem to work, but tried it again and it did the trick. – Buyin Brian Aug 14 '11 at 12:56
