iPhone SDK: Check validity of URLs with NSURL not working??
- by Chris
hi,
I'm trying to check if a given URL is valid and i'm doing it like this:
- (BOOL)urlIsValid:(NSString *)address {
NSURL *testURL = [NSURL URLWithString:address];
if (testURL == nil) {
return NO;
}
else {
return YES;
}
}
Since "URLWithString" is supposed to return "nil" if the URL is malformed I thought this would work but it doesn't for some reason. Could someone please tell me why?
Thanks in advance!
