Whenever this line of code is executed, serverSideList becomes
"(invalid)"
when in gdb, and it's memory address becomes 0x0.
stringWithContentsOfURL: return nil if the URL can't be loaded. Have you
tried the URL in a browser, or with Curl? I tried the one you gave, and
it returned a "404 - Not Found" page.
I am assuming this is
happening because -stringWithContentsOfURL is probably expecting an
NSString
object, not a normal string (not even a cstring, I don't believe, just
plain
old text in a .txt file).
It's not expecting some sort of serialized NSString object, if that's
what you mean - what you're doing should work with any resource of type
text/*. I don't know what would happen if the URL pointed to something
other than text, though - for example to a GIF or JPEG image.
