List, OK to make my request a little more detailed. In my tableview "cell for row at index path" method I make several URL requests that fill in a cell within a section. E.G
section 1 - row 1 (1st url request) section 1 - row 2 (2nd URL request), etc... section 2 - row 1 (URL request Same as url request in section 1 but different data supplied) section 2 - row 2 (URL request Same as url request in section 1 but different data supplied) Obviously I want each URL request as it ends to update the correct index path table cell. I would like to send index path as one of the parameters so that when I perform the selector in background. I can modify that specific cell with that result. The method below only allows me one object, I'm not sure if the withObject:withObject: method will sole the problem if i create a compound selector with the @selector. [self performSelectorInBackground:@selector(MakeURLRequest:) withObject:URLRequest]; All that said I would like to use URLconnection instead (as jens points out) they are asynch but again I have the problem of allocating the responses back to the correct index path object.
