A drop in the ocean

accessing websites using embedded mono

leave a comment »

I have embedded mono into my app (evolution-mono-providers) where I was trying to authenticate to google calendar. Though I had the certificates imported using mozroots, access to website failed.  But then I was able to authenticate through a standalone mono program.

After some debugging with ankit, posted the query on the mono-devel mailing list. Robert’s quick response helped me solve the issue :) Calling mono_jit_exec with the assembly compiled as an executable fixes the issue. So one has to call mono_jit_exec for certain defaults to be set correctly in the embedded environment.

Here is the mail thread http://go-mono.com/forums/#nabble-to22617142|a22666273 .

Thanks a lot, ankit and Robert!
