The data is probably gzip-compressed.
I don't remember the solution off the top of my head, but it's come up
on the list before. Most people agree that NSString isn't as helpful as
it could be here :) The Safari NSURLxxx classes might give better results.

Hello,
I'm trying to load the contents of a web page into an NSString for
further processing. I've tried several things, which sort of work, but
not entirely. I've tried something like this:
NSString *string = @"http://...";;
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:string];
NSData *data = [url resourceDataUsingCache:NO];
NSString *urlContents = [[[NSString alloc]initWithData:data
encoding:NSASCIIStringEncoding]autorelease];
NSString *otherURLContents = [NSString stringWithContentsOfURL:url];
If I use something like "http://www.apple.com";, no problem: both
urlContents and otherURLContents show the HTML source. However, if I
specify something like "http://wwwa.accuweather.com/index-
forecast.asp?partner=accuweather&myadc=0&zipcode=94025&u=1", the
contents show up in this form:
\u008b\u00a1\u0080`$\u00d8\u0090@\u00ec\u00c1\u0088\u00cd\u00e6\u0092

\u00f3\u00d1\u00efq\u00f4'\u008f\u00d7\u00a7_\u009e\u00bc\u00f9}^
\u009e\u00a6\u00f3
...

Why is that? If I display the page using Safari, its source can be
easily seen... what am I missing?
Thanks,
