+Summary: [PATCH] Uri.CheckHostName considers host name with trailing dot invalid
+
+Mono's Uri.CheckHostName considers a host name with a trailing dot 
+invalid.
+
+MS.NET considers this a valid host name. I submitted a bug report for 
+this using the MSDN Product Feedback Center, and got the following 
+feedback:
+
+-------
+
+This behavior is actually by design. The ending period indicates that the 
+domain name is fully qualified. The following is an excerpt from section 
+3.2.2 of RFC 3986 that describes what constitutes a valid host name for 
+URIs:
+
+"A host identified by a registered name is a sequence of characters 
+usually intended for lookup within a locally defined host or service name 
+registry, though the URI's scheme-specific semantics may require that a 
+specific registry (or fixed name table) be used instead. The most common 
+name registry mechanism is the Domain Name System (DNS). A registered 
+name intended for lookup in the DNS uses the syntax defined in Section 
+3.5 of [RFC1034] and Section 2.1 of [RFC1123]. Such a name consists of a 
+sequence of domain labels separated by ".", each domain label starting 
+and ending with an alphanumeric character and possibly also containing "-
+" characters. The rightmost domain label of a fully qualified domain name 
+in DNS may be followed by a single "." and should be if it is necessary 
+to distinguish between the complete domain name and some local domain."
+
+-------
+
+The attached patch changes our behaviour to match that of MS.NET.
