Question

My problem is the following…

I read about sending http requests and receiving their responses on iPhone SDK 3.2 using NSURLRequest and NSHTTPURLResponse (All my requests are “get” and there’s no “post”) but I don’t know how to do that exactly cause some of my responses are just strings (plain text) and some others are binary files (gzip and mp3)

Thank you in advance for the help

Answer 1

To perform a Http request, I use ASIHttpRequest:

NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:my_url];
ASIHTTPRequest *request = [ASIHTTPRequest requestWithURL:url];
[request setRequestMethod:@"GET"];
[request startSynchronous];

That works perfectly. Still need to figure out if it’s fine with mp3 / zip files.
