What is the correct point at which to release a NSUrlConnection object?
In my program, I alloc a NSUrlConnection, and then initWithRequest to kick off asynchronously.
I am now responsible for releasing the object – when do I/can I release? Immediately if I'm not using it again?
Best Answer
When you are done with the
NSURLConnection
. You'll know you're done with it when yourNSURLConnection
delegate receives- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
or- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didFailWithError:(NSError *)error
. Just release it at the end of those two methods.
