iOS strange error ! url returning nil !

[chhoda]

Hi All,

I am getting a strange error.

NSString *filePath = [[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource"direction" ofType"html"];

// NSString *params = [NSString stringWithFormat"?dirstr=%@", @"from: 500 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA to: 4 Yawkey Way, Boston, MA 02215 (Fenway Park)"/*directioncommand*/];
// filePath = [filePath stringByAppendingStringarams];

NSString *fileURLString = [[NSURL fileURLWithPath:filePath] absoluteString];
NSString *params = [NSString stringWithFormat"?dirstr=%@", @"from: 500 Memorial Drive, Cambridge, MA to: 4 Yawkey Way, Boston, MA 02215 (Fenway Park)"/*directioncommand*/];
fileURLString = [fileURLString stringByAppendingStringarams];
NSURL *fileURL = [NSURL URLWithString:fileURLString];


I am trying to for an url and append parameter to it. unfortunately I am getting url as nil. Is there any way i can see the error ? If i copy paste the string from nslog to the browser it works fine.

thanks and regards
ch

I would guess it's because the parameter part of your URL contains spaces (i.e. "from: 500 Memorial Drive..."), which isn't allowed. Try calling stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: on it first.
