GCD and async NSURLConnection?

So really the issue isn't the lifetime of the thread on which your block runs, it's the fact that this particular thread is not going to have a runloop configured and running to receive any of the events coming back from the connection.

Just as an answer to why your thread was disppearing (and for future reference) the NSURLConnection needs a runloop. If you had added.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
