           Summary: WebClient.DownloadData throws exception on FTP GET
                    download
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: SVN
          Platform: 32bit
        OS/Version: Ubuntu

When downloading an FTP file through WebClient the attached program throws a
method not supported exception on Mono (CVS). The program runs fine on Visual
C# Studio. 

The problem is caused by line 274 in Webclient.CS it assigns "GET" as the way
to retrieve the file through FTP. (Which should be sane way to download an FTP
file) 

274: request = SetupRequest (address, "GET");

A few lines further the code in FTPWebRequest.cs (line 226) checks for "GET" in
"supportedCommands", cannot find it and throws the exception. 

226: if (value.Length == 0 || Array.BinarySearch (supportedCommands, value) <
0)
227:  throw new ArgumentException ("Method not supported", "value");



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Use the attached code to download a file through FTP 
2.Watch it crash



Actual Results:  
System.Net.WebException

Expected Results:  
Programs returns the FTP file in a byte[]
