Sign the assembly in the nuget.org package?

Hi,

Would it be possible to sign the assemblies in the RichardSzalay.MockHttp package on nuget.org?

This would make it easier for more people to use, in case their build & test pipelines require strong-named assemblies.

There's a MockHttpSigned package on nuget.org, however the origin of that package is a little unclear and it hasn't been updated since MockHttp 1.2.1 (in 2015).

Thanks,

Andrew Huff

Hi Andrew,

I'm happy to oblige in theory.

Could you see if you can find official guidance on signing assemblies and it's impact on backward compatibility and platform support? Specifically I need to make sure it will work with upgraders on everything from .NET Core to Xamarin Android.

I've done some research and found this issue is much less clear cut than I expected, with some potential back-compatibility issues, and heated debates on whether the best practice is to strong-name sign or not. As a result, I'm withdrawing my request. Thank you for your quick response though!
