Is connectionWithRequest synchronous?

Question

I wanted to know whether doing:

+ (NSURLConnection *)connectionWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request delegate:(id < NSURLConnectionDelegate >)delegate

is synchronous or not? doesn't really say in the docs

If it is synchronous then how do I make it async?

Answer 1

Its Asynchronous -

Look at NSURLConnection Class Reference under Tasks - > Loading Data Asynchronously -> + connectionWithRequest:delegate: first method in that list
