           Summary: Using HttpContext.RewritePath causes incorrect
                    HttpRequest.Path to be returned when PathInfo is
                    specified
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.6.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Ubuntu

We use HttpContext.RewritePath to rewrite URLs such as "~/app.axd/Foo" to the
"~/app.axd" handler (registered in web.config) with a PathInfo of "/Foo".
However, HttpRequest.Path incorrectly reports it as "~/app.axd" instead of
"~/app.axd/Foo" which is incorrect according to MSDN:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.web.httprequest.path.aspx

The problem is in mcs/class/System.Web/System.Web/HttpRequest.cs: when
SetPathInfo() is called, it does not update UrlComponents.Path -- which is what
is returned by HttpRequest.Path (via PathNoValidation).

A proper fix would have to update UrlComponents.Path whenever SetFilePath,
SetCurrentExePath or SetPathInfo were called (or just base it on FilePath +
PathInfo as MSDN recommends; don't know what would be the backward
compatibility impact).

Reproducible: Always
