[mono-android] HTTPs problems

[Mike Child]

The first time I tried this it was on an actual device, but I just tried
again on the emulator just to make sure it wasn't something goofy with that
and it still worked.

 var wc = new WebClient ();
 var test2 = wc.DownloadString("https://www.google.com")

So it could be a bug in the version 1.2.2 of MonoDroid(which is the current
release version). Being on the 1.9.2 beta version it does work. As far as
getting the beta version, I don't know that you can without having a
license. Hopefully someone with more knowledge on that could answer for you.
