Creating NSURL from Apple Event string

Creating NSURL from Apple Event string

I have this really annoying issue that keeps coming up over and over and I'm at my wits end. Hopefully I can get some help.

I have a Cocoa application that receives a URL in a string in an Apple Event and opens a web view of the page. I have two different applications that are sending this Apple Event, one is a Carbon C++ program, the other a Carbon Pascal app (written in FPC, compiled in xCode.)

The C++ program seems to send the string fine, and the Cocoa app opens the page fine.

The Pascal program, on the other hand, just seems to send over bad strings (which I've converted from Pascal Str255 to zero-terminated C strings). They SEEM to be valid, but when I run this:

NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString: urlString];

I get a nil myURL. Documentation says it will be nil if "urlString" is invalid. In the debugger, it sure LOOKS valid, and if I replace that line with:

NSURL *myURL = [NSURL URLWithString: @"http://www.apple.com";];

it works fine.

How do I figure out what's wrong with "http://www.apple.com"; in a NSString, that isn't wrong when I use @"http://www.apple.com"; directly?

Thanks!

Vision in white steps through the door,
Holds out her hand, I say 'No I'm not ready'
I open my eyes and let the dream fade away.
