Question

Hi I am trying to create a NSOperaion Queue to download a bunch of PDF files. But it doesnt work. The delegate methods dont get called for NSURLConnection since i put them in NSOperation queue…. any alternatives or solution???

- (void) loadData {
 NSOperationQueue *queue = [NSOperationQueue new];
 NSInvocationOperation *operation;
 for(int i=0;i<[self.pdfArray count];i++){
  NSString *url = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"http://www.somelink.com/%@.pdf",[self.pdfArray objectAtIndex:i]];
  operation = [[NSInvocationOperation alloc] initWithTarget:self 
               selector:@selector(loadDataWithOperation:) 
                 object:url];

  [queue addOperation:operation];
  [operation release];
 }
}

- (void) loadDataWithOperation:(NSString *) url{

 // Create the request.

    NSURLRequest *theRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:url]
            cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
            timeoutInterval:60.0];

    NSURLConnection  *theDownload = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
}
