[Mono-dev] HttpRuntime.Cache crashing HttpListener in console application

[MemphisWeb]

If I Cache data using System.Web.Caching in a console application I get an
exception if I ltry to start a HttpListener object.  It seems that somewhere
in System.Net it is looking for Cache Settings in a web.config.

This is a bug because the behavior does not exist in the .net runtime.

Is there a workaround?

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Caching;
using System.Net;

namespace TestWeb
{
	class MainClass
	{
		public static void Main(string[] args)
		{
			/* Uncomment to section to produce error
			 * 
			Cache cache = HttpRuntime.Cache;
			cache["hello"] = "world";
			Console.WriteLine("Hello World!");
			
			Cache cacheClone = HttpRuntime.Cache;
			string s = cacheClone["hello"] as String;
			Console.Write(s);
			*/
						
			System.Net.HttpListener listener = new System.Net.HttpListener();
			listener.Prefixes.Add("http://192.168.1.101:8081/");
			listener.Start();
			
			Console.WriteLine(listener.IsListening);
		}
	}
}

Hello World!
