"of class NSURL autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking" Help

Question

-(void)setIT:(customOfferCell *)curr {
    NSAutoreleasePool *imagePool = [ [ NSAutoreleasePool alloc ] init ];

    NSURL *url = [[NSURL URLWithString:imageURL]autorelease];
    NSData *imageData = [[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:url] autorelease];
    curr.offerImage.image = [[UIImage imageWithData:imageData]autorelease];
    [imagePool drain];
}

Hi I had the title error and the program ran fine, but the number of leaks concerned me, I looked into what was causing it and because this method is called on a new thread:

[NSThread detachNewThreadSelector: @selector(setIT:) toTarget:self withObject:cell];

I need to create an autorelease pool and autorelease the objects. The above method is called to load an image onto my custom UITableViewCell. When I run this I get weird errors on delegates that aren't even running. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

You are creating your objects with factory methods that return autorelease values, and then you are autoreleasing them! That should lead to an over-release problem, not a leak, though.
