Hi,

It isn't the space problem.
But the problem lies in the Foundation Framework's NSURL method
fileURLWithPath:path.
In Foundation.framework version 6.2 this method returns a proper URL but
in version 6.3 it doesnt. This as explained below:

path value is "/var/root/Library/Application Support/NetApp/1 2 3
4.html"
For 6.2 version of Foundation.framework:
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] value is
"file://localhost/var/root/Library/Application Support/NetApp/1 2 3 4.html"
But for 6.3 version of Foundation.framework:
[NSURL fileURLWithPath:path] value is "/var/root/Library/Application
Support/NetApp/1 2 3 4.html".

Has anybody faced this problem before??.
Is there a fix in place for the same.
Let me know any other workaround for the same.

Thanking in Advance,
Ashwin.

I bet it's the space in "Application Support". Spaces, as well as many
other characters, are not allowed in a url without being percent
encoded. I suspect the other browsers/versions aren't conforming
strictly to the standard.

Try using NSString's stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding: on the
path before passing it to NSURL.
