NSURLRequest throwing runtime error - objective-c

Question

Trying to create a request only to have a runtime error thrown. Method initiating the request:
- (void)loadMemberData {
//build URL
NSMutableString *url = [[NSMutableString alloc] initWithString:appDelegate.apiURL];
[url appendFormat:#"&subaction=singlestat&memberID=%d", [[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] integerForKey:#"memberID"]];
NSURL *tempURL = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:url];
NSLog(#"URL: %#", tempURL);
//Create conn
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSURLRequest alloc] requestWithURL:tempURL];
NSLog(#"%#", request);
//conn = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self];
//[request release];
}
The URL logs correctly. I have even checked the object type to make sure everything is correct, and all seems good. No compile time errors or warnings. Stack Trace & Log:

terminate called after throwing an instance of 'NSException'

Answer 1

You should be doing
NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:tempURL];
The requestWithURL: creates NSURLRequest objects that are autorelease-d.
The actual error message says "unrecognized selector" because requestWithURL: is a class method, but you are using it like an instance method.
