NSURL's parameterString confusion with use of ';' vs '&'

I'd like to use NSURL's parameterString method to parse out the parameters of a URL I've been passed. It says URL must conform to RFC 1808 but now wondering if ours do?!?

iPhone: AVAudioPlayer/NSURL memory management

I posted a much longer question a few minutes ago, and as it usually goes as soon as I posted it I realized what was going on, so I deleted it since most of the post was irrelevant.

Code execution prior to loading an url from an iPhone

If you call: [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"http://test.com"]]; it seems to automatically quit your app -- bypassing the dealloc, viewDidDisappear, or any other functions.
