Question

I’m using this code:

NSString *recievedData;

NSURLRequest *theRequest=[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.site.com/"]
                                          cachePolicy:NSURLRequestUseProtocolCachePolicy
                                      timeoutInterval:60.0];
// create the connection with the request
// and start loading the data
NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
if (theConnection) {
    // Create the NSMutableData to hold the received data.
    // receivedData is an instance variable declared elsewhere.
    recievedData = [NSMutableData data];

    NSLog(@"%@", recievedData);
} else {
    // Inform the user that the connection failed.
    NSLog(@"Unsuccessful.");
}

It’s a modified version of this.

My problem is that it always returns

Whether I’m connected to the internet or not, it always goes to successful.

You haven’t received any data, you have just instantiated the object that will hold the received data. You need to implement the delegate methods for handling responses and failures and it is usually best to use NSURLConnection asynchronously.

There is some example code Using NSURLConnection
