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

[H .]

Hi Oscar,

yes, using a command line app everything works fine. The problems are restricted to ASP.NET apps.

I did reboot my machine after changing proxy settings, so it shouldn't be a problem with inheriting the environment variables between processes. Furthermore I used the button "Apply System-Wide" in Ubuntu. I am sure, the environment variables are correctly set up as they are available directly on the command line. To be able to run xsp2 from the command line I need to extend my test web app.


Greetings,
Martin
