I’m currently doing this:

NSMutableDictionary *dict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithContentsOfURL: [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mysite/mypage.php"]];

Which is great, apart from when the data being returned is quite large, and it appears to time out. How could I get around this?

Thanks in advance.

    I’m not a big fan of using NSDictionary to manage downloads. I’d probably try something like:

    NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://mysite/mypage.php"];
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWintURL:url cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy timeoutInterval:60.0];
NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:nil];

    Now, if data is not NULL then save to local file. Then load the dictionary using the contents of that file using the initWithContentsOfFile: method.

    If you still get the timeouts you can try larger timeoutIntervals.
