According to the Apple docs (URL Loading System Programming Guide), the synchronous NSURLRequest method is not recommended because "because it has severe limitations". It would appear that the lack of the ability to control what certificates are acceptable is one of these limitations.

And yes, you are right, it is the delegate:self on the NSURLConnection setup that causes your delegate methods to be invoked. Because the simple (or simplistic) synchronous sendSynchronousRequest: call doesn't provide a way to specify a delegate, those delegate methods aren't used.
