NSURLRequest etc. have nothing to do with the type of content you 
send. They don't care whether it's XML, HTML, MP3, JPEG, whatever. You 
just hand them raw data to send in the body.

That's too bad. If only the documentation came with some kind of 
"search" feature so you didn't have to ask hundreds of people for help 
on every little detail. Then you'd be able to type "SOAP" into the 
search field, maybe adjust the settings to "Full Text" and "Contains", 
and find that documentation wherever it was! But since Xcode sucks and 
has no search feature, and since Apple won't let Google index their 
online docs, there's no way around it. Someone else will have to take 
over answering, though, because I'm getting tired of it.
