I would not assume so, as it would not be standard behavior and it is not documented to do otherwise. It might be worth filing a bug against the docs to clarify this. If you really don't want (or can't have) an instance variable, you can init/alloc then release in connectionDidFinishLoading: and connection:didFailWithError:. I wouldn't recommend this though, as it is probably "bad form", but as long you never want to memory-manage NSURLConnections in that class, ever, it would be somewhat future proof.
