How to use stringWithContentsOfURL:encoding:error:?

I am trying to use initWithContentsOfURL:encoding:error: like this :


NSURL *url = [[NSURL alloc] initWithString:@"http://my_url.com/my_file.xml"];
NSError *error = nil;
NSString *my_string = [[NSString alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:url
encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding
error:&error];

I get a empty my_string variable.

I tried the initWithContentsOfURL: method (which is deprecated in iOS 2.0) and I get the content of my page. But I still need to specify a encoding language.

What's wrong ?

Thanks :)

You can modify your webpage by adding header('Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8'); to the top of the code and saving the document as a UTF-8 formated file. It helped me as I had the same problem.
