NSURLComponent is not giving right URL when IP address exist in URL

Question

My NSURLComponents is translating '/' to '%2F'. Please see log after 10.32.135.10.

NSURLComponents *urlComponent = [[NSURLComponents alloc] init];
[urlComponent setScheme:@"http"];
[urlComponent setHost:@"10.32.135.10/test.API"];
[urlComponent setPath:@"/api/path"];
urlComponent.queryItems = qItems;

In Log when I executed

po [urlComponent URL]
http://10.32.135.10%2Ftest.API/api/path?asetTypeId=1003

Why backward slash is translated into %2F. Please guide.

Answer 1

Because /test.API should be on the path.

Let's think about it the other way:

NSString *urlStr = @"http://10.32.135.10/test.API/api/path?asetTypeId=1003";
NSURLComponents *components = [[NSURLComponents alloc] initWithString:urlStr];
NSLog(@"Host: %@", [components host]);
NSLog(@"Path: %@", [components path]);
NSLog(@"QueryItems: %@", [components queryItems]);

Output:

$>Host: 10.32.135.10
$>Path: /test.API/api/path
$>QueryItems: (
    "<NSURLQueryItem 0x600000254760> {name = asetTypeId, value = 1003}"
)

Fix:

[urlComponent setHost:@"10.32.135.10"];
[urlComponent setPath:@"/test.API/api/path"];
