Yeah, the NSURLConnection docs aren't too heavy on details when it comes to threads, and what it does say about its threading behavior seems purely consequential to the fact that NSURLConnection relies on NS/CFRunLoop facilities, rather than NSUC implementing its own thread-safe logic. So from the limited information available, as usual, I wouldn't make any assumptions about the thread safety of it.
(As I side note, I'll say I've also experienced some very reproducible crashes with NSURLConnection without doing anything fancy - I don't remember all the details, but if you search Google for "NSURLConnection crash," you'll get a fair number of hits. Which speaks for itself, I guess.) I just finished moving some non-thread-safe code into a separate helper utility that's launched on-demand, and it's worked peachy for me. While it takes some time and a lot more code than it would otherwise, it's really the only way to deal with situations where something needs to run outside of the main thread, but doesn't play nice with threads. So that's what I suggest...
