Hi
I have a portion of code that uses NSURL to get a HTML file, e.g.
data = [NSMutableString stringWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:@"http://www.apple.com/";]];
where data is, sensibly enough, a NSMutableString.
However, this approach produces the spinning beach ball mouse cursor
and the app seems to freeze up while retrieving the data. Is there a
way to work around this freeze?
Yes. Fetch the data in another thread.
