Question

Is it possible to call an asynchronus NSURLRequest from a thread(NSThread)?
If yes, then is this a good practice?
If no, then can any one can explain with code snippet that what can be the issue?

Thanks

It is possible, but usually not necessary. To do this, you would need to set up an NSRunLoop on your secondary thread.

Usually it’s better to just use NSURLConnection from the main thread, it will still not block. For processing the downloaded data, you could easily use dispatch_async from the connectionDidFinishLoading: delegate method.
