Hi all, i'm trying to find a way to convert an HTML-originated URL into one I can use in cocoa.

Example input: <link type="application/rss+xml" rel="alternate" href="/search/unique&amp;stuff&amp;here" />

I know the URL that this data is fetched from, so I can prefix that to achieve a full URL again, but I need to convert the &amp; into plain ampersands, but there could be all kinds of HTML characters in there. Is there a category on NSString out there I could
use for this?

Please, please, please don't try and append the unescaped string to the base URL. Cocoa has a full NSURL API for this sort of thing, so instead do:

NSURL *URL = [NSURL URLWithString:unescapedString relativeToURL:baseURL];
