Hey Jerry,

The xml isn't well-formed. The value of the value attribute must be quoted:

<add key="mykey" value="http://somewhere.com?id=" />

re: ky with http in value causes debug to fail

My example was poor. In the code it is in quotes. I also tried replacing
the double quotes with single quotes.

re: ky with http in value causes debug to fail

Found the problem. The value cannot contain an ampersand for some reason.
Very strange. I guess I will use entities instead.

re: ky with http in value causes debug to fail

Ampersands must be expressed as &amp; this is part of the XML syntax.
(since an ampersand signifies the start of an XML entity).
