title: Problem passing querystring from from silverlight to http handler
body: <p>I am using Silverlight 3 beta and Visual Studio 2008 SP1 for this.</p>
  
  <p>In the web application (Server side) I have a HTTP handlter ImageFetcher.ashx which expects an ID parameter from the query string and retrieves the data from database and writes it to output stream. This is working fine and I have tested it with a test aspx page adding a image control with src=ImageFetcher.ashx?id=44.</p>
  
  <p>I also have a silverlight client navgatoin application in the same solution. I have the following image tag in my xaml</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Image x:Name="myImage"  Width="400" Height="300" Stretch="Uniform" Source="/ImageFetcher.ashx?id=44"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I run this app, it fails to retrieve the image. When I debugged the handler, I noticied that it is not getting any querystring parameter. if the change the image tag to use absolute URL as below it works fine again</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;Image x:Name="myImage"  Width="400" Height="300" Stretch="Uniform" Source="http://localhost:5573/ImageTest/ImageFetcher.ashx?id=44"/&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But I cannot use the absolute URL, what is wrong here? why the relative URL does not carry the querystring correctly to the server side?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks
