iphone - NSData & NSURL - url with space having problem

Question

I have following code in my application.

NSData *data=[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:pathOfThumbNail]];

pathOfThumbNail has following path

---

http://70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF 58B.jpg

---

When I open above path in safari browser - path is changed automatically & image is successfully displayed.

http://70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF%2058B.jpg

---

But in iPhone, due to space in path, image isn't loaded in nsdata.

Use: stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:

Returns a representation of the receiver using a given encoding to determine the percent escapes necessary to convert the receiver into a legal URL string.

-(NSString *)stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:(NSStringEncoding)encoding

A representation of the receiver using encoding to determine the percent escapes necessary to convert the receiver into a legal URL string. Returns nil if encoding cannot encode a particular character

NSString* urlText = @"70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF 58B.jpg";
NSString* urlTextEscaped = [urlText stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString: urlTextEscaped];
NSLog(@"urlText:        '%@'", urlText);
NSLog(@"urlTextEscaped: '%@'", urlTextEscaped);
NSLog(@"url:            '%@'", url);

NSLog output:

urlText:        '70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF 58B.jpg'  
urlTextEscaped: '70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF%2058B.jpg'  
url:            '70.84.58.40/projects/igolf/TipThumb/GOLF%2058B.jpg'
