System.Uri bug??

[Jason Manfield]

I have the following URL:

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/rd/55811103,653,1,0.25,Download/http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/7145/http:zSzzSzwww.stanford.eduzSzclasszSzcs343zSzpszSzpathprof.pdf/ball96efficient.pdf

Creating System.Uri with the above URL:

Uri uri = new Uri(aboveURL)

removes the extra slash after "Download/http://". The debugger shows it as
Download/http:/citeseer.ist... .

The Uri in HttpWebRequest (which is created with the above URL) also removes
the extra slash. As a result, I get NameResolution exception.

The Uri is shown as

http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/rd/55811103,653,1,0.25,Download/http:/citeseer.ist.psu.edu/cache/papers/cs/7145/http:zSzzSzwww.stanford.eduzSzclasszSzcs343zSzpszSzpathprof.pdf/ball96efficient.pdf

If you are specifying "Download/http://" as the protocol, then you will receive an exception.

Do not use "Download/" as a prefix.
