I am sending a URL string to NSWorkspace's openURL method that has

a malformed URL.
That’s weird, since RFC 1738 explicitly says parentheses are legal
and don’t need to be escaped:
Thus, only alphanumerics, the special characters "$-_.+!*'(),", and
reserved characters used for their reserved purposes may be used
unencoded within a URL.
Could you show us one of these URLs?

The following works ok:
NSString * mapquestURLString;
mapquestURLString = [NSString stringWithString:@"http://mapq.st/?maptype=hybrid&q=39.7452,-104.98916
"];
if([[NSWorkspace sharedWorkspace] openURL:[NSURL
URLWithString:mapquestURLString]]);
else NSLog(@"Could not open mapquest");
But if I use the following string, I get the error message:
mapquestURLString = [NSString stringWithString:@"http://mapq.st/?maptype=hybrid&q=39.7452,-104.98916(Test
point label)"];
I got the examples from
http://www.mapquestapi.com/link-to-mapquest/#parameters
I'm noticing some of the other examples don't work also.
