+Summary: WebClient connection delays and differences
+
+Please fill in this template when reporting a bug, unless you know what 
+you are doing.
+Description of Problem:
+The WebClient hangs or times out when a non existent host is given or an 
+invalid port is given.  Under Windows, I see snappy responses with the 
+NameResolutionFailure or ConnectFailure status.
+
+Steps to reproduce the problem:
+1. Running this code:
+    try
+    {
+        WebClient client = new WebClient();
+        using (Stream s = client.OpenRead(args[0]))
+        {
+            System.Console.WriteLine("Opened " + args[0] + " for reading");
+        }
+    } catch (WebException e) {
+        Console.Out.WriteLine("error, " + e.Message);
+        Console.Out.WriteLine("status " + e.Status);
+    } catch (Exception e) {
+        Console.Out.WriteLine("error, " + e.Message);
+    }
+
+2. Pass an invalid port or host name:
+    connect.exe http://localhost:90000/
+
+
+Actual Results:
+Under Mono: long delay, then:
+    error, The request timed out
+    status Timeout
+
+Expected Results:
+Under Windows: quick response with:
+> connect.exe http://afijfai/
+error, The underlying connection was closed: The remote name could not be 
+resolved.
+status NameResolutionFailure
+
+> connect.exe http://localhost:90000/
+error, The underlying connection was closed: Unable to connect to the 
+remote server.
+status ConnectFailure
+
+How often does this happen? 
+Every time
+
+Additional Information:
+This seems to work fine under Mono 0.30.1.  It doesn't seem to work with 
+Mono 0.31
