Not the same thing. The URL you created with the above is “file:///localhost” (three slashes at start) which is indeed just a file called “localhost”.
“file://localhost/“ (two slashes at start) denotes a file URL at the hostname “localhost”, which is semantically the same thing as “file:///", but syntactically different so the path behavior might work better. You’d have to create it as a generic URL, i.e. [NSURL URLWithString: @“file://localhost/“].
