How to replace deprecated CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes() with -[NSString stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:]
Raw
gistfile1.txt
Question: Which NSCharacterSet should I pass to -[NSString stringByAddingPercentEncodingWithAllowedCharacters:]
so that it works exactly like the deprecated CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes() did?
Answer: Either URLFragmentAllowedCharacterSet or URLQueryAllowedCharacterSet
Explanation:
That answer comes from the following program output, which is the result of running
the code below it.
