           Summary: appSettings file attribute should be interpreted
                    relative to the containing file
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.4.x
          Platform: Other

The MonoInternalNote in
mcs/class/System.Configuration/System.Configuration/AppSettingsSection.cs
indicates some uncertainty about this and related implementation details, but
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms228154%28VS.80%29.aspx#attributesandElementsToggle
is pretty clear that the file attribute specifies a path relative to "the local
configuration file."

Right now, AppSettingsSection just passes the file attribute value to
System.IO.File.OpenRead, with the consequence that xsp interprets the filename
relative to the directory in which it is started. It should interpret the
filename relative to the file in which it found the appSettings element (in
this case, Web.config).


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mkdir demo
2. cd demo
3. emacs demo.aspx Web.config user.config
3.a. (demo.aspx)
   <%@ Page language="c#" inherits="System.Web.UI.Page" %>
   <%= System.Configuration.ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["test"] %>
3.b. (Web.config)
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <appSettings file="user.config">
   </appSettings>
3.c. (user.config)
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
   <appSettings>
     <add key="test" value="it works" />
   </appSettings>
4. cd ..
5. xsp --applications /demo:demo
6. wget http://localhost:8080/demo/demo.aspx
Actual Results:  
blank page

Expected Results:  
"it works"
