Question

I have one problem with HttpWebRequest and Uri class of .NET framework (i use 3.5 version). When i try to do a simple request to page with url like this http://somedomain.net/-hello-world:misc./Items.bok, Uri remove “.” before last “/”. Is there any ability to prevent it.

Thanks in advance.

This is a known bug. This was actually discussed on these forums not
too long ago. An MSFT employee
acknowledged the problem and stated
that it will be considered for a
future release.
