Thanks - so the present status is, WebClient should work on non-linux platforms, (at least OSX, iOS, and Android) even with an empty mono CA root store "Trust". On linux, the mono store "Trust" needs to be populated - but recently, the rpm & deb packages were improved to automatically populate via cert-sync. Presumably there is no automated process to do this when built from source. Perhaps either the Makefile, or documentation should be updated to suggest running cert-sync on linux when built from source. SslStream and other classes that rely on the .Net cert store management, are less fortunate - the mono CA store "Trust" must be populated. This happens automatically when using the latest linux packages, but does not happen automatically for any other platforms, and not if built from source. _______________________________________________ Mono-devel-list mailing list Mono-devel-list@lists.ximian.com http://lists.ximian.com/mailman/listinfo/mono-devel-list
