Uri(Uri, String) constructor does not works properly?

Question

Here is a part of my code:

Uri branches = new Uri(@"https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/branches");
Uri testBranch = new Uri(branches, "test");

I expect testBranches will be https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/branches/test, but it is https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/test. I can not understand why Uri(Uri, string) constructor eats the last part of the path.

Answer 1

Add a slash after branches

  Uri branches = new Uri(@"https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/branches/");
  Uri testBranch = new Uri(branches, "test");

Answer 2

The Behaviour you see is correct, because replacing the last part is a good idea if you want to change the filename.

I would add the backslash at the end of the first part. Then it is clear that this is a directory, otherwise it may be interpretated as a file.

Uri branches = new Uri(@"https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/branches/");
Uri testBranch = new Uri(branches, "test");
Console.WriteLine(testBranch);

Will get this output:

 https://127.0.0.1:8443/svn/CXB1/Validation/branches/test
