In .net 2.0 the good way to control the trust CertificatePolicy is to use
System.Net.ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback

with the old method (.NET 1.1) you should use this code :
if you want to tell mono to trust all https certificates

System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy = new
TrustAllCertificatePolicy();

with 
public class TrustAllCertificatePolicy : System.Net.ICertificatePolicy
{
    public TrustAllCertificatePolicy() {}
    public bool CheckValidationResult(ServicePoint sp, 
        X509Certificate cert,
        WebRequest req, 
        int problem)
    {
        return true;
    }
}

but in .net 2 this code shows a compiler warning : 
warning CS0618: `System.Net.ServicePointManager.CertificatePolicy' is obsolete:
`Use ServerCertificateValidationCallback instead'

so the good .NET 2 way to achieve this is to use :

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = 

 delegate(Object obj, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain,

  SslPolicyErrors errors) { return true; };

but this fails at runtime with :
Unhandled Exception: System.NotImplementedException: The requested feature is
not implemented.
