Ok, first of all thanks all for the replies. I'm trying to solve it this an util class method:
import Cocoa class Utils: NSObject { class func isValidUrl(url: NSURL?) { var lower = url?.scheme?.lowercaseString return lower == "http" || lower == "https" } } Sadly I'm getting and error in the return line that I can't interprete: Cannot invoke == with argument list of type `($T4, $T8)` What I'm doing wrong?
