I have a RESTful WCF 3.5 endpoint as such:

System.Security.User.svc

This is supposed to represent the namespace of the User class and is desired behavior by our client.

I have another endpoint I created for testing called:

Echo.svc

I am writing an overridden IHttpModule and in my module, I follow what almost everyone does by doing:

string path = HttpContext.Current.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath;

If I make a call to:

http://localhost/services/Echo/test

My path variable has a value of '~/echo/test'

However, when I make a call to:

http://localhost/services/System.Security.User/test

My path variable has a value of '~/system.security.user'

In my 2nd situation, it is stripping off the '/test' on the end of any endpoint that contains multiple periods. This is undesired behavior and the only solution I have found to fixing this is some ugly string manipulation using the property which does contain the complete URL path:

string rawPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.RawUrl;

This returns '/services/system.security.user/test'.

Does anyone know why my first situation does not return the rest of the URL path for endpoints that contain multiple periods in the name?
