Does ASIHTTPRequest support ARC?

Question

I have to make a rest web service call from my ios app, earlier I used ASIHTTPRequest with no ARC in xcode4, but now I have enabled ARC in my app in xcode4.2, please suggest what should I do? is there anything else which i can use to perform web service call?

If you're including the ASI source in your project, then mark the ASI files with -fno-objc-arc in the compile settings for each file. If you're including it as a static library, then you don't need to do anything.

Note that if there are method calls in ASI that don't obey the naming conventions for ownership (e.g. copy/new/alloc etc...) they you'll need to bridge some of the arguments in your method calls.
