Description of Problem:

Using SSL with HttpWebRequest will try to write server certificates into the
Mono certificate store at .config/.mono/certs

On the iPhone, the standard location of the ApplicationData directory is off
limits to running applications as it is outside of the filesystem sandbox. 
Trying to write anything to the ApplicationData directory or it's
subdirectories will fail on the device although not on the simulator.

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Use HttpWebRequest to connect via SSL to a server that returns a certificate
2. 


Actual Results:

Error message:
deny file-write*
/private/var/mobile/Applications/E047ABE1-3F14-4358-85ED-5AB4E92EA5C0/.config

Expected Results:

Write succeeds, no error message.

How often does this happen? 

Always

Additional Information:

Sent to mailing list, Miguel confirmed as a bug and asked a report be filed.
