[Mono-list] Problems with CRLDistributionPointsExtension

Hello Kim,

The best source is to look at the other attributes source code in
Mono.Security
http://svn.myrealbox.com/viewcvs/trunk/mcs/class/Mono.Security/Mono.Security
.X509.Extensions/

and the RFC specs that have the ASN.1 definitions. You'll probably find that
one in RFC3280.

Great :)

Give it a try. If it doesn't work then open a bug in bugzilla.ximian.com for
Mono.Security.dll
include your code and a sample certificate and I will have a look at it.

Glad :)
