I came across the same problem as follow myself:

"Check if delegate still exists before calling respondsToSelector"

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5091693/check-if-delegate-still-exists-before-calling-respondstoselector ;

When using AsyncImageView with ASIHttpRequest, and the tableView mechanism I used somehow leads to the delegate of asihttprequest, i.e. the asyncImageView, was released before RequestFinished. 

So the following functions in ASIHTTPRequest.m:

- (void)requestFinished;

- (void)reportFailure;....

with " if (delegate && [delegate respondsToSelector:didFinishSelector])" will come to crash because of a invalid delegate.

Notice that if(delegate) or if(delegate!=nil) won't do any help.

According to a discussion on 

 https://github.com/pokeb/asi-http-request/issues/168

 It is safer to use blocks to solve this problem.

Use   request setCompletionBlock:^(void){}  rather than the default - (void) requestFinished:(ASIHTTPRequest *)request.
