[data writeToFile:@"/tmp/station.pls" atomically:YES]; ->Works perfectly when I download a html file for example I change the code to [data writeToFile:@"/tmp/station.html" atomically:YES]
Issue I get is NSError *error; NSURLRequest *request = [NSURLRequest requestWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://yp.shoutcast.com/sbin/tunein-station.pls?id=9907";]]; NSData *data = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse:nil error:&error]; if (!data) [NSApp presentError:error]; the download happens perfectly when the URLWithString is an html file but if it is a pls file like the example given above fails.No download happens at all.
