Of course I should have said, “produces what appears to be an incorrect result.”
Have I tried it? No. I have not because it is telling me that the url I tried to create is nothing like the URL I tried to create. Spending some time looking at it this morning and testing against the working string, it is apparent that the /api gets stripped off the URL when using relativeToURL. Look at this. (lldb) po self.sharedData.webServices home-qa.mrcooper.com/api (lldb) po self.sharedData.webServicesURL https://home-qa.mrcooper.com/api (lldb) po [[NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"%@%@%@", @"https://";, self.sharedData.webServices, @"/login"]] absoluteURL] https://home-qa.mrcooper.com/api/login (lldb) po [[NSURL URLWithString:@"/login" relativeToURL:self.sharedData.webServicesURL] absoluteURL] https://home-qa.mrcooper.com/login See how relativeToURL: strips off the /api text from the URL? So strange why they thought it a good idea to output the description and debugDescription that way AND strip off part of the URL. Argh. Thanks for the second (and third) set of eyes.
