On .NET/Windows, System.Diagnostics.Process.Start (name) returns null for http
URLs. On Mono, it returns a valid process object.

Assert.IsTrue (Process.Start ("http://mono-project.com") == null); //FAILS ON
MONO

Similarly, constructing the process object and starting it manually on .NET
results in a process object that isn't associated with a process. Accessing any
member throws an InvalidOperationException ("No process is associated with this
object").

var p = new Process ();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "http://mono-project.com";
p.Start ();
p.WaitForExit (); //THROWS InvalidOperationException


I haven't tested this with other URL schemes. However, using simple filenames
e.g. "C:\foo.txt" does result in a valid process object.
