[Mono-dev] Internet code which is fine under .NET, but dies on mono

[Paul Johnson]

Hi,

I have a bit of a problem with some come which works and builds fine under
VS2010 (targetting .NET 2) but returns a problem under mono on my linux box
(using 2.10.1) - here is the code

<--
        private void btnTranslate_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string result = string.Empty;
            string url = string.Format("
https://www.googleapis.com/language/translate/v2?key={0}&q={1}&source={2}&target={3}
",
                key, txtTranslate.Text, data.from, data.to);
            try
            {
                WebRequest req = HttpWebRequest.Create(url);
                if (data.useproxy == true)
                    {
                        WebProxy myproxy = new WebProxy(data.proxyval,
data.proxyPort);
                        myproxy.BypassProxyOnLocal = false;
                        req.Proxy = myproxy;
                    }
                req.Method = "GET";

                using (WebResponse res = req.GetResponse())
                {
                    using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(res.GetResponseStream(), Encoding.UTF8))
                    {
                        result = sr.ReadToEnd();
                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception er)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(er.Message, "Network error",
MessageBoxButtons.OK);
                return;
            }
-->

The code will fire up fine under mono, but fails to communicate with the
google service complaining that it was able decode the returned string or
the end of the string has been found,

Any ideas or do I need to put this into the mono BZ?

The binary can be found at http://www.all-the-johnsons.co.uk/translate.exe

TTFN
