[Mono-devel-list] HttpWorkerRequest

[Rafael Teixeira]

Well this is some internal class from the .NET implementation as it
isn't documented in MSDN.

In Mono we have some subclass of  MonoWorkerRequest (either
XSPWorkerRequest or ModMonoWorkerRequest). These classes are the ones
that return null for GetPreLoadedEntityBody().

Could you please fill a bugzilla, giving some more details of what is
expected to come in the byte array, and pointing to implement in those
classes (or the superclass), please. I would do it for you, by I run
out of time just now.

Thanks for helping us make Mono better.

Fun,
