There are several ways to solve this problem, and each depends on your circumstances. The first would be to use multiple copies of the method + (id)stringWithContentsOfURL:(NSURL *)url encoding:(NSStringEncoding)enc error:(NSError **)errorfor NSString. Therefore, if you want to get the contents of some URL, you can use the following code

NSURL* url = [NSURL urlWithString:@"http://www.someUrl.com/some/path"];
NSString* urlContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url encoding:NSUTF8Encoding error:nil];
NSURL* anotherUrl = [NSURL urlWithString:@"http://www.anotherUrl.com/some/path"];
NSString* anotherUrlContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:anotherUrl encoding:NSUTF8Encoding error:nil];

-(void) connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *) response
{
    if(connection == connection1)
    {
        //Do something with connection 1
    }
    else if(connection == connection2)
    {
        //Do something with connection 2    
    }
}
