Changing Synchronous to Asynchronous

[harrytheshark]

I'm using this code to download a page to an NSData then convert it to an NSString.

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"someaddress.com"];
NSError *error;
	
NSMutableURLRequest* liveRequest = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];
[liveRequest setCachePolicy:NSURLRequestReloadIgnoringCacheData];

//Need a header for something
[liveRequest setValue:@"headervalue" forHTTPHeaderField:@"headerfield"];

//Download the page to an NSData
NSURLResponse* response;
NSData* myData = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:liveRequest returningResponse:&response error:&error];

//Convert the data into a string.
NSString * checkResponse = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:myData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];

This locks up the UI so I was wondering how I can change this into an Asynchronous request, keeping the header information and what not.

Thanks,
Tom

Look at the docs for NSURLConnection. There is a reference to a document called "URL Loading System". That doc shows you how to do asynchronous connections.

Ah Yes! Thanks I've got it working now.
