   I have a HTTP call that updates an array during app startup. I make the request in a new thread - but on the main thread using performSelectorOnMainThread. This seems to still block though. Am I missing something?
   

   [self performSelectorOnMainThread:@selector(getNews) withObject:nil waitUntilDone:NO];
   ...
   -(void) getNews {
   // makes http request and populates array
   }

   Why would you execute the request on the main thread? Of course this will block.

   I recommend using ASIHTTPRequest as a headache-free solution.

   I figured since I was updating an object that the main thread my access and waitUntilDone was an option, it was the way to go (maybe safer?). I can create a separate thread, but I had forgotten about ASIHTTPRequest. I'm going to use that instead. Silly me. Thanks.
