Test case to demonstrate ArgumentException with HttpWebRequest and StreamWriter

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10_5_7; en-us)
AppleWebKit/530.19.2 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/4.0.2 Safari/530.19

When the request.ContentLength is set to 0 for a POST operation, the
StreamWriter will throw an ArgumentException when instantiated.

(tested on SVN revision 138308)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create a HttpWebRequest, and set ContentLength to 0
2.  Create a streamwriter based on the request stream
3.  Watch explosion 
(See attachment for repro)
Actual Results:  
Unhandled Exception: System.ArgumentException: Can not write to stream
  at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor (System.IO.Stream stream,
System.Text.Encoding encoding, Int32 bufferSize) [0x0005f] in
/home/strangeloop/src/mono-138308/mcs/class/corlib/System.IO/StreamWriter.cs:100 
  at System.IO.StreamWriter..ctor (System.IO.Stream stream) [0x00000] 
  at (wrapper remoting-invoke-with-check) System.IO.StreamWriter:.ctor
(System.IO.Stream)
  at HttpsTest.MainClass.Main (System.String[] args) [0x00035] in
/home/strangeloop/Projects/HttpsTest/Main.cs:21 


Expected Results:  
Connection is created.

This works fine in .NET CLR on Windows.
