I can't answer your question about NSURL, as I gave up on it a long time
ago. It seems to be really incomplete :-(
I would suggest using the OmniFrameworks, and OmniNetworking in particular.
While I was kind of scared of these at first as it takes a little work to
get them set up, once you get it all compiled and linked/copied into your
app, you will find there is nothing better. The fact that Omni allows all
this great technology to be used for free by anyone just blows my mind.
You can find some great information on compiling these frameworks, and
getting them to install in your app bundle, at:
www.cocoadevcentral.com
You can find an example of using these frameworks (although it's a little
dated and geared towards NNTP) at www.stepwise.com.
There was another example put together by Austin Shoemaker called WebAccess
Springboard. I am not sure where to find this, but search around for it. I
think it has everything you are looking for.
good luck,
