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
