NSURLConnection Not Returning Data - iphone

Question

I have a rather unusual issue here. The code below is running fine and the data is sending to the source fine, but none of the NSURLConnection triggers are returning anything. The only items being logged are in the function that the request is sent in. Any ideas?
// code starts above here
NSData *myRequestData = [ NSData dataWithBytes: [ requestString UTF8String ] length: [ requestString length ] ];
NSURLRequest *request = [[NSMutableURLRequest alloc] initWithURL:[NSURL URLWithString:urlPrefix]];
[request setHTTPMethod: #"POST"];
[request setHTTPBody: myRequestData];
[request setValue:#"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" forHTTPHeaderField:#"content-type"];
NSURLResponse *resp = nil;
NSError *err = nil;
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request returningResponse: &resp error: &err];
NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request delegate:self startImmediately:YES];
if (!theConnection)
{
NSLog(#"Failed to submit request");
}
if(theConnection)
{
NSMutableData* receivedData=[[NSMutableData data] retain];
NSLog(#"Created connection.");
NSLog(#"--------- Request submitted ---------");
NSLog(#"receivedData: %#", receivedData);
}
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveResponse:(NSURLResponse *)response
{
NSLog(#"Received response: %#", response);
NSLog(#"Received response, connection retain count is %d",[connection retainCount]);
}
- (void)connection:(NSURLConnection *)connection didReceiveData:(NSData *)data {
NSLog(#"Connection received data, retain count: %d", [connection retainCount]);
}
- (void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection{
NSLog(#"finished connection retain count: %d", [connection retainCount]);
}

This is the problem:
NSData *response = [NSURLConnection sendSynchronousRequest:request
returningResponse:&resp
error:&err];
NSURLConnection *theConnection=[[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:request
delegate:self
startImmediately:YES];
First you start a synchronous request and then you start the request again but than asynchronous. Makes no sense.
Try removing the first line.
