Yeah, but if you read the docs for NSURL, part of them say that a trailing
slash is added automatically or else inconsistent results would be created.
Except here it chooses to ignore that and drop the end of the URL back to the
last / , while still displaying it in the description for the instance and
ignoring it in the absoluteURL for the instance.
Yea! Fun times!
Now I remember while I rolled my own methods for building URLs a few years ago.
Argh.
Thanks everyone.
(Alex mutters something about going back to 6502 assembly for his own sanity.)
