I am getting EXC_BAD_ACCESS while NSURLREQUEST.
I am giving pdf url from server to to webview through AppDelegate_iPhone’s currentBookPressed.
please can anyone tell what is the problem …
Code:-

@class AppDelegate_iPhone;
@interface PdfShowViewController : UIViewController<UIWebViewDelegate> {

    UIWebView *pdfWebview;
    AppDelegate_iPhone *appDelegate;
    NSMutableData *receivedData;
    UIActivityIndicatorView *myIndicator;
    IBOutlet UIProgressView *progress;

    NSURLRequest* DownloadRequest;
    NSURLConnection* DownloadConnection;

    long long bytesReceived;
    long long expectedBytes;

}


@property (nonatomic,retain) UIWebView *pdfWebview;
@property (nonatomic,retain) UIActivityIndicatorView *myIndicator;
@property (nonatomic,retain) IBOutlet UIProgressView *progress;
@property (nonatomic,retain) NSMutableData *receivedData;
@property (nonatomic, readonly, retain) NSURLRequest* DownloadRequest;
@property (nonatomic, readonly, retain) NSURLConnection* DownloadConnection;

-(IBAction)onTapBack;

@end

Answer 1

You should replace line

DownloadRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:targetURL] cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad timeoutInterval:120.0];

with line

DownloadRequest = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:targetURL cachePolicy:NSURLRequestReturnCacheDataElseLoad timeoutInterval:120.0];

It is because method requestWithURL:cachePolicy:timeoutInterval: in first parameter is waiting for object of NSURL class. In targerURL you have exactly that one.

Moreover in method [NSURL URLWithString:targetURL] (if you will need it) you should pass NSString as a first parameter, but you are passing NSURL.
