[SOLVED] Memory issues using ASIHTTPRequest or Image Resizing

I can't tell where but I'm having memory issues uploading images to my server. After about 10 or so successful uploads i get memory warnings of level 1 then the next time it quits due DateFormatters or basically being out of memory. Here is my code. It uses ASIHTTPDataRequest and a image resize function. I cant tell if its the request thats not being released or if its the image resizing function not releasing the image. The images are huge photos taken from the phone at their normal high resolution then resized to print size and uploaded. Somewhere along the line I'm missing some memory management somewhere and its driving me mad!

I'm getting memory warnings after about 10 or more uploads to my server using the following code. Is there some memory management specific to ASI that I'm not using?

Hi I'm using your software but I'm running into huge memory issues. I get memory warnings and I'm not sure how to clear them out without breaking the upload. I was wondering if you could take a look at this code sample and maybe show me what I'm doing wrong that causes the memory issue?
