[Mono-dev] Patch for System.Runtime.Remoting: remove application name while extracting object uri from url

Hi Svetlana,

I cannot reproduce that parsing behavior on .NET. If you run
the following test on .NET, you'll see that the application
name doesn't get removed from the channel url.

The problem with mono's channels & IIS must be somewhere else.
Since only HttpChannel can be hosted, the problem might
be in System.Runtime.Remoting.Channels.Http.HttpRemotingHandler.
