+Summary: invalid implementation of System.Net.WebClient.OpenRead?
+
+The implementation of System.Net.WebClient.OpenRead in Mono 0.22 only
+supports the fixed URL schemes "http", "https" and "file". Since
+System.Net.WebRequest supports registering of custom WebRequest factories
+(interface IWebRequestCreate) I consider this as an unnecessary limitation
+which easily could be overcome by changing the current implementation of
+OpenRead:
+
+public Stream OpenRead (string address)
+{
+  Uri uri = new Uri (address);
+  WebRequest request = null;
+
+  if (uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttp || uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeHttps)
+     request = new HttpWebRequest (uri);
+  else if(uri.Scheme == Uri.UriSchemeFile)
+     request = new FileWebRequest (uri);
+  else
+     throw new NotImplementedException ();
+
+  return request.GetResponse ().GetResponseStream ();
+}
+
+into something like this:
+
+public Stream OpenRead (string address)
+{
+  WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create(address);
+  return request.GetResponse().GetResponseStream();
+}
