Printing NSData using NSLog

Question

How can I print the contents of an NSData object using NSLog:

-(void) post:(NSString*) msg to:(NSString*) link{
    NSString *myRequestString = [NSString str

Convert NSData to NSString using

NSString *strData = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:returnData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

and print NSString in NSLog like below

NSLog(@"%@",strData);

This answer is edited for JeremyP, as he does not know how to know content is of UTF-8, though it was not a discussion of this question.

You can get response header in following delegate method

- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSHTTPURLResponse *httpResponse = (NSHTTPURLResponse *)response;
NSDictionary *dic = [httpResponse allHeaderFields];
}

This dictionary will give you entire header info like below

{type = immutable dict, count = 7,
entries =>
0 : {contents = "X-Aspnet-Version"} = {contents = "2.0.50727"}
1 : {contents = "Server"} = {contents = "Microsoft-IIS/6.0"}
2 : {contents = "Content-Length"} = {contents = "385"}
6 : {contents = "Cache-Control"} = {contents = "private, max-age=0"}
10 : {contents = "X-Powered-By"} = {contents = "ASP.NET"}
11 : {contents = "Content-Type"} = {contents = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"}
12 : {contents = "Date"} = {contents = "Fri, 08 Jul 2011 15:23:10 GMT"}
} 

Check charset="utf-8", you will get encoding from here.
