Say I want to get the HTML of

http://www.google.com

as a String using some built-in classes of the Cocoa Touch framework.

What is the least amount of code I need to write?

I’ve gotten this far, but can’t figure out how to progress. There must be an easier way.

CFHTTPMessageRef req; NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@'http://www.google.com']; req = CFHTTPMessageCreateRequest(kCFAllocatorDefault,                                  CFSTR('GET'),                                  (CFURLRef)url,                                  kCFHTTPVersion1_1);

  1. The quickest way is to use NSString’s +stringWithContentsOfURL: method. However, this is a modal call, and your application will be non-responsive while it runs. You can either move it to a background thread, or use the NSURLConnection class to make a proper, asynchronous request.
