Change a NSURL's scheme

Question

Is there an easy way to change the scheme of a NSURL? I do realize that NSURL is immutable. My goal is to change the scheme of an URL to \"https\" if t

Answer 1

I did it like this, using a variable resourceSpecifier in NSURL

SWIFT

var resourceSpecifier: String? { get } 

OBJECTIVE-C

@property(readonly, copy) NSString *resourceSpecifier Discussion 

This property contains the resource specifier. For example, in the URL http://www.example.com/index.html?key1=value1#jumplink, the resource specifier is //www.example.com/index.html?key1=value1#jumplink (everything after the colon).

  -(NSURL*) URLByReplacingScheme
    {
        NSString *newUrlString = kHttpsScheme;

        if([self.scheme isEqualToString:kEmbeddedScheme])
            newUrlString = kHttpScheme;

        newUrlString = [newUrlString stringByAppendingString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@":%@", self.resourceSpecifier]];

        return [NSURL URLWithString:newUrlString];
    }
