Turns out garbage collection was doing me in. When the
NSURLConnection object was hanging out waiting for a response, it
would get collected. To work around this, after creating the
NSURLConnection object I just stick it in a NSMutableSet. When the
delegate gets the -connectionDidFinishLoading: message I remove the
connection object from the set. Works great now.
