NSData to NSString converstion problem!

Supposing you got a NSURLResponse* response and an NSData* data:

CFStringEncoding cfEncoding = CFStringConvertIANACharSetNameToEncoding((CFStringRef) [response textEncodingName]);
NSStringEncoding encoding = CFStringConvertEncodingToNSStringEncoding(cfEncoding);

NSString* string = [[NSString alloc] initWithData:data encoding:encoding];

// Do stuff here..

[string release];
