I'm having difficulty formulating the Request.
As we know,  the NSMutableURLRequest inherits methods that can alter the Http body, etc.
I don't think I need to do that.

I need to  send a pre-written SOAP/XML envelop to the server; and get an response that I disseminate.

Something like this:  [XML/SOAP string (or data)] ----> [NSURLRequest] ---> [NSURLConnection] ---> [Server].
                                      Server ---> [NSURLConnection] ---> response.

I can send an empty http request to the reserver and get a response.
But I don't know how to attach a data item (XML/SOAP) to the request.

Any Ideas?
