[MacRuby-devel] URI and NSURL compatibility

[Laurent Sansonetti]

Hi Mark,

No, NSURL and URI are not bridged.

I do not recommend using NSURL in a file that should also run under MRI because of the MacRuby calling syntax for Objective-C selectors, which won't compile under normal rubies. So, it would be better to isolate the NSURL code in a special file and require it at demand (if RUBY_ENGINE is macruby).
