I've got an NSArray that I initialise with data from a plist stored
on a remote webserver. I've been doing it like this:
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.server.com/
data.plist"];
NSArray *myArray = [NSArray arrayWithContentsOfURL:url];
which has been working just fine so far.
But now I'm reading through the "URL Loading System" docs, and
wondering if I should be using all the NSURLRequest stuff instead.
It's more complicated, so are there any advantages it would have
over what I'm doing now?
Advantages are:
- Asynchronous operation so you don't block the runloop
- More detailed error handling
- Better authentication support
- Finer control over the request, such as custom HTTP headers or
timeout length
