[Mono-dev] System.NullReferenceException, what does it mean?

[Wade Maxfield]

Hi,

  The webResponse.ContentEncoding string is "", and Trim() doesn't do
anything.

  This makes the responseEncoding string comes back with "", and therefore
it sticks us-ascii into it.  Since we are totally inhouse on this one, I can
force that.  This was a few lines of example code from somewhere blended
into my current program.  I'm still learning.

  Mono throws an error saying that the object is null, as opposed to giving
it a value of  "".
