macOS SHOUTcast problems

I'm creating an application in Objective-C and I need to get the metadata from a SHOUTcast stream. I tried this:

NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString😡"http://202.4.100.2:8000/"];
NSMutableURLRequest *request = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:URL];
[request addValue😡"close" forHTTPHeaderField😡"CONNECTION"];
[request addValue😡"accept" forHTTPHeaderField😡"*/*"];
[request addValue😡"1" forHTTPHeaderField😡"Icy-MetaData"];
[request addValue😡"RadioToolX/1.0 (Macintosh; Intel)" forHTTPHeaderField😡"user-agent"];

I would have to get the headers from this request in order to get the information, right? Unfortunately it keeps returning these headers:

Date = "25 Apr 2010 23:05:29 -0200";
"Max-Age" = 0;

What I'm doing wrong?

The red-hilited code looks wrong. I'm unaware of any HTTP header whose name is "*/*".

And if you're looking for Shoutcast metadata, then I'm pretty sure you'd have to get that from the server's reply, not the client's request.
