How to load NSURL which contains hash fragment “#” with UIWebView

nsurl

Given a local URL address like index.html

Now I need to use UIWebView to load it in iPad. I followed these steps:

Create NSURL

NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:@"http://mysite.com#page1"];

Load with UIWebView for local HTML/JS/CSS etc

[webView loadRequest:[NSURLRequest requestWithURL:url]];

But it doesn't work, because "#" is converted to "%23", so the URL string is

http://mysite.com%23page1

My question is, how to fix this auto-conversion issue and let UIWebView access the URL which contains the hash fragment "#"?

User URLWithString to append fragment to your url, like this:

*NSURL *url = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:htmlFilePath];
url = [NSURL URLWithString:[NSString stringWithFormat:@"#%@", @"yourFragmentHere"] relativeToURL:url];*

Hope it will help :)

EDIT: Swift 3 version:

var url = URL(fileURLWithPath: htmlFilePath)
url = URL(string: "#yourFragmentHere", relativeTo: url)

Cocoa – Removing url fragment from NSURL

How about this:

NSString* s = @"http://www.somewhere.org/foo/bar.html/#label";
NSURL* u = [NSURL URLWithString:s];

// Get the last path component from the URL. This doesn't include
// any fragment.
NSString* lastComponent = [u lastPathComponent];

// Find that last component in the string from the end to make sure
// to get the last one
NSRange fragmentRange = [s rangeOfString:lastComponent
                                 options:NSBackwardsSearch];

// Chop the fragment.
NSString* newURLString = [s substringToIndex:fragmentRange.location + fragmentRange.length];

NSLog(@"%@", s);
NSLog(@"%@", newURLString);
