.NET Forum / .NET Framework / New Users / March 2006Uri class removes double slash
Hello, I'm currently writing an application that calls a RESTful webservice. One of the parameters to an API call is the URL of some site. This must include the protocol thingy in the beginning. However, the Uri class *insists* on removing double slashes, so my "http://somewebsite.com", always becomes "http:/somewebsite.com". Which does not work for the API I try to call. Is there anyway to get around this? My main problem is with the WebRequest.Create() function, I guess it takes the string I provide and creates an Uri object for it's own use. Although this behaviour is written in the documentation, this seriously impacts some webservices and I consider it a bug (bug sounds better then bad design decision). Jeroen-bart Engelen Hello Jeroen-bart Engelen, Use @ sign before your URI like @"http://somewebsite.com" J> Hello, J> J> I'm currently writing an application that calls a RESTful webservice.

(c) Friedrich Nietzsche Hi, thanks for your reply, but it makes no difference. This isn't the C-style string escaping (which is the other slash \\), but this is something the logic of the Uri class does. Just to be sure it did try it with the @-sign and it didn't work.

If I can use link.OriginalString that I could just as easily use the string I used to create the Uri to begin with, but the WebRequest.Create() fucntion takes a Uri or takes a string and uses that to create a Uri. Which then mangles my request string. Jeroen-bart Engelen Hi Jeroen-bart Engelen. Try Uri link = new Uri("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http:/\u2215www.roadrunnerre cords.com/blabbermouth.net/newsfeed.xml"); hth, Chris > Hi Jeroen-bart Engelen. > [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > Uri("http://www.google.com/reader/atom/feed/http:/\u2215www.roadrunnerre > cords.com/blabbermouth.net/newsfeed.xml"); Hey...this seems to work. Cool! Thanks! Unfortunatly I already P/Invoked the hell out of WinInet to write a class comparable to HttpWebRequest and wrote a simple Uri class, but I'm going to check if this fix works all the time.
