[Mono-dev] WebRequest/Configuration bug in 2.0

[John Luke]

Hello,

It seems that if you have a .config file for your app containing dllmaps
creating a WebRequest will fail.  I think it is specific to 2.0
configuration stuff. (Originally found by trying to use the banshee
podcast plugin).  Let me know if you want it in bugzilla instead.
