Use the -resourceDataUsingCache: method of NSURL to get the data,
then use the -initWithDate:encoding: method of NSString to put it in a 
string.


eg.

  NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString: 
@"http://www.mydomain.de/file.html";];
  NSData *data = [url resourceDataUsingCache: NO];
  NSString *htmlCode = [[NSString alloc] initWithData: data encoding: 
NSUTF8StringEncoding];


Of course, there are much more sophisticated things you can do about 
error checking etc, but
that's about the simplest code.
