title: Simple objective-c GET request
body: <p>Most of the information here refers to the abandoned ASIHTTPREQUEST project so forgive me for asking again.</p>
  
  <p>Effectively, I need to swipe a magnetic strip and send the track 2 data to a webservice that returns "enrolled" or "notenrolled" (depending on the status of the card...)</p>
  
  <p>So my data comes in simply as</p>
  
  <pre><code>NSData *data = [notification object];
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>And then I need to pass this to a url to the order of</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://example.com/CardSwipe.cfc?method=isenrolled&amp;track2=data" rel="noreferrer">http://example.com/CardSwipe.cfc?method=isenrolled&amp;track2=data</a></p>
  
  <p>And then just receive a response string...</p>
  
  <p>I've searched a ton and there seems to be some conflicting answers as to whether this should be accomplished simply with AFNetworking, RESTkit, or with the native NSURL/NSMutableURLRequest protocols.</p>
