TMHTTPRequest

These are two ARC / iOS5 classes which wrap up NSURLRequests into a nicer backgrounded block based API. Each class wraps up a method (GET and POST).

There are many many of these wrappers around - the only thing this one has going for it is it uses the iOS5 operation queue functionality - which means, among other things, all of the delegate methods get called on a background thread and stay off the main thread (which is a boon for iPad2 / iPhone4S).

The block callbacks are similarly called on a background thread, hence UI updated should be done in a dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{}); call

The API has been made to be 'similar' to ASIHTTPRequest on purpose.

A Simple GET example

NSURL * url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://search.twitter.com/search.json"];

TMGETRequest * req = [[TMGETRequest alloc] initWithURL:url];

[req setValue:@"tonymillion" forKey:@"q"];
[req setValue:@"20" forKey:@"rpp"];

req.completedBlock = ^(NSHTTPURLResponse *response, NSData * data)
{
    NSLog(@"response = %@", [response allHeaderFields]);

    NSError * err;
    NSDictionary * JSONresponse = [NSJSONSerialization JSONObjectWithData:data 
                                                              options:0 
                                                                error:&err];

    if(!JSONresponse)
    {
        NSLog(@"JSON Decoding error: %@", err);
    }
    else
    {
        NSLog(@"JSON: %@", JSONresponse);
        dispatch_async(dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
            [self.tableView reloadData];
            NSLog(@"ReloadData Done!");
        });
    }
};

[req startRequest];

Post

Posting is virtually identical to GET with the exception that you can use addPostData with a filename/content type in the same way you can with ASIHTTPRequest.
