When working on iOS projects, there are some tasks that you find yourself doing over and over. For example, using NSURLRequest and NSURLConnection to call an API, or download a file. There are many heavyweight libraries out there (e.g. ASIHTTPRequest) which are great for larger projects, but I wanted to produce a small and lightweight library that encapsulates the common behaviours needed to access a web service, download a small image, etc. that are core activities within most modern apps.
