NSURLConnection Problem Inside QuickLook Generator

I'm writing a QuickLook plugin that, as part of the preview process, makes an http call to a (localhost) server to obtain data that is then used to generate the preview image.

The code below works fine outside the QuickLook architecture, as a standard Cocoa application. But as soon as I move the (exact) same code over to the QuickLook plugin, a call to the server only returns (null) response, and (null) data. The docs indicate that this means the connection is failing. But why o why is it failing?

If I print the contents of the NSError object to the console, I get the following message:

09-12-08 3:02:05 AM	quicklookd[37158]	error: Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=1 UserInfo=0x10049d880 "The operation couldn’t be completed. Operation not permitted"

It appears that sendSynchronousRequest:... is not permitted. So why is this operation not permitted? And is there a workaround? Any help would be most appreciated.

	NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];
	NSMutableURLRequest * request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];

	[request setHTTPMethod:@"POST"];
	[request setHTTPBody:[params dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
	[request setTimeoutInterval:5];

	NSError * error;
	NSURLResponse * response;
	NSData * data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request
		returningResponse:&response error:&error];

Best,
Dalmazio
