Setting context providers doesn't work about analytics.net HOT 3 CLOSED

Sounds like I'm doing something stupid here :) I'm gonna fix this up for you, I'll ping you early next week once the fix is ready.

Thanks... after my original post though, I dug into the source code and realized that the providers don't get added as items in the context dictionary... instead they are kept in an internal property (that is none the less serialized when the Context object gets sent to SegmentIO):

[JsonProperty(PropertyName = "providers")]
internal Providers providers;

I actually added a few unit tests to verify this (which I believe I sent you a pull request for - although in hindsight I probably should has split those into a separate commit, since the pull request I sent you includes some other changes too).

So basically, I've got no idea why Segment.IO isn't respecting the provider configuration that I'm specifying - it would require some lower level debugging perhaps (looking at the HTTP requests that get sent to the REST API and making sure they look like they should).

For the time being, I've worked the need to override the provider configuration. Originally, my plan was to use the session id as the user id for events that happen before users log in and then specify providers in the context to make sure SegmentIO only pushed these anonymous events up to Google Analytics (and not up to places like Customer.IO, where events without customers don't make any sense). Instead, now I'm using "anonymous" as the user id and just passing the session id as an additional property... that way I only need one "catchall" user in Customer.IO for these anonymous events... so it's not such a problem if they get sent to all the providers I have configured.

This is obviously just a work around though and doesn't solve the original problem.
