While "sdsds" is indeed a valid relative URL according to RFC 2396,
don't let NSURL's declaration of RFC-conformance fool you. I have a
pretty severe bug (rdar://problem/7096953) logged against NSURL's
incorrect handling of IDNs. Despite pointing to the spec, copying it
into the bug report, and walking step by step through NSURL's
violation thereof, I was told that it behaves according to the spec
and as designed. I no longer trust NSURL's assertions of conformance.

So is there a way to validate a string before passing it to URLWithString? _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
