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

[Oskar Berggren]

In Monodevelop, have you had a look at the project options -> Run ->
General, where you can set environment variables used when running
through MD. Just to check to make sure nothing there is overriding
no_proxy for your web app.
