macOS Getting a NSString from NSMutableData, possible?

[Monkaaay]

I'm trying to read the contents of a URL and I came across the NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection objects. I have a NSMutableData object filled with the results but I can't find a way to print that data to the screen. Any ideas?

Well, I found this solution but I wish it were more elegant.

unsigned char byteBuffer[[receivedData length]];
[receivedData getBytes:byteBuffer];
NSLog(@"Output: %s", (char *)byteBuffer);

How about

NSString *s = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", s);
[s release];

Not sure if that's really any better though.

How about

NSString *s = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:urlData encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding];
NSLog(@"%@", s);
[s release];

Not sure if that's really any better though.

Or just use stringWithContentsOfURL:encoding: (I think that's the method...)
Also, NSLog(s) would work as well.
