iOS - UIWebView - weird concatenation to url

I have a UIWbView and I load it with an encoded url: http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%0A

When i debug, and stop at:

- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType

the [[request URL] absoluteString] returns 

{ URL: file://http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%0A }

The framework added file:// prefix, WHY??? I didn't ask for that... :/

Solution

  • It assumed it was a file:// URL as it didn't find a URL scheme in http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com%0A.

    Change the URL to http://www.google.com and it will be fine (that trailing %0A is also suspicious).
