URLWithString: returns nil

Question

it may be very easy, but I don\'t seems to find out why is URLWithString: returning nil here.

//localisationName is a arbitrary string here
NSSt         


        

Answer 1

NSURL URLWithString:@"" will return nil if the URL does not conform to RFC 2396 and they must be escaped

If you read through rfc2396 in the link you will get loads of details

A great site I found for checking where the offending character is, choose the path option for URL
