Thank you very much to Author for this Helper. Thank you also to Kristoffer Lawson, because I was having few problems with ampersand character. Thank you very much for all!

I found this very useful and thanks also to Kristoffer for the amendment. A small correction is required – you need to cast argument 4 of CRURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes to a CFStringRef. Statement looks like this:

encodedParamCF = CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault,
(CFStringRef) f_longURL, nil, (CFStringRef) @"&+", kCFStringEncodingUTF8);

I altered the source to do the URL encoding in a way that will accept URLs with ampersands and plus signs. This is what the change looks like at the beginning of shortenURL:

NSString *parameters, *encodedParam;
CFStringRef encodedParamCF;
NSString *urlWithoutParams = [NSString stringWithFormat:BITLYAPIURL, @"shorten", loginName, apiKey];

encodedParamCF =
CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes(kCFAllocatorDefault,
(CFStringRef) f_longURL,
nil,
@”&+”,
kCFStringEncodingUTF8);
encodedParam = (NSString *) encodedParamCF;
[encodedParam autorelease];
parameters = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"longUrl=%@", encodedParam];

Without that links to e.g. Google Maps will not work. Hope this helps.
