ValenceAuthenticator overwrites request.Resource

[ghost]

in ValenceAuthenticator.Authenticate, we overwrite request.Resource with the value from the uri that is computed by RestClient.BuildUri. This means we overwrite any url arg placeholders with their values. So the following code would break:

...
var request = new RestRequest( "/foo/{bar}" );
request.AddUrlSegment( "bar", "123" );
authenticator.Authenticate( request );
// execute request...
request.AddUrlSegment( "bar", "456" ); // won't work: {bar} is gone
authenticator.Authenticate( request );
// execute this new request...

It seems like RestSharp wants to allow this functionality but it is probably uncommon.

A workaround for this is to not authenticate until the request is about to be sent and ensure that all URL segments have been added.

I mean you might send the request and then want to send a duplicate request, but change a url parameter - I think this is technically possible with RestSharp but may not be an intended usage scenario. It certainly seems... unlikely to me.
