[Mono-dev] Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable() not working in Linux ASP.NET app

Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("no_proxy") not working in Linux ASP.NET app

After configuring proxies in Ubuntu, the environment variable no_proxy contains the list of proxies to bypass. Using Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("no_proxy") we can retrieve the content of this environment variable as a string. This is working fine in standard C# applications.

However, when calling Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable("no_proxy") within an ASP.NET application, the return value is always null. As a result, the current proxy support in Mono fails to establish the list of proxies to bypass.

I am wondering how Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable() is working behind the scenes. I guess the reason why it
fails in ASP.NET is related to some kind of a permission issue.

Does anybody know more about the implementation details of Environment.GetEnvironmentVariable() in Mono?
