[Mono-list] HttpHandlers

[Cedric Marcone]

Hi all,

I'm currently trying to "bind" a class implementing IHttpHandler
interface in XSP 0.8 under mono 0.29.

I declared it in web.config :

<httpHandlers>
  <add verb="*" path="*Action.aspx" type="Cedric.TestHandler, Cedric"/>
</httpHandlers>

As seen on msdn, the type attribute format is :
"NamespaceQualifiedClassName, AssemblyName"

- Cedric.dll is in xsp/test directory.
- TestHandler class is indeed in the Cedric namespace
- I run xsp.exe from this directory

When I try, to call whatever apsx I have the following error :

System.TypeLoadException: Cannot load type 'Cedric.TestHandler, Cedric'
in (unmanaged) /home/cedric/gnome-2.4/lib/libmono.so.0(mono_raise_exception+0x1f) [0x4008793f]

in <0x0011f> .CreateHandlerState:Execute ()
in <0x00076> .StateMachine:ExecuteState (System.Web.HttpApplication/IStateHandler,bool&)

I suspect that the type attribute value is passed without parsing to System.Type.getType.

Is it something known ?
Am i doing something wrong ?
Can I help ? 

Cheers,
