What's the difference between passing false and true to 'resolvingAgainstBaseURL' when initialize a NSURLComponents instance?
I can't understand what's the difference between these two ways of calling:
NSURLComponents(URL: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: true)
and
NSURLComponents(URL: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)
And I found the explanation of documentation was hard to understand... Can someone please give me a simple example to show how this api works? (I tried many different combinations of parameters , but what they yielded were same...)
It makes only a difference if you create the URL components from an NSURL
which
was created relative to another NSURL
:
let baseURL = NSURL(string: "http://server/foo/")!
let url = NSURL(string: "bar/file.html", relativeToURL: baseURL)!
print(url.absoluteString)
// "http://server/foo/bar/file.html"
With resolvingAgainstBaseURL == false
, the URL components
represent only the relative part of the URL:
let comp1 = NSURLComponents(URL: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: false)!
print(comp1.string!)
// "bar/file.html"
With resolvingAgainstBaseURL == true
, the URL components
represent the fully resolved URL:
let comp2 = NSURLComponents(URL: url, resolvingAgainstBaseURL: true)!
print(comp2.string!)
// "http://server/foo/bar/file.html"
