When inheriting the WebClient class and implementing a overridden GetWebRequest
method, the code isn't called by the base class and/or normal internal
processes.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Compile and run the following code:
using System;
using System.Net;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            TestWebClient t = new TestWebClient();
            t.DownloadData("http://www.mono-project.com");
        }
    }

    class TestWebClient : WebClient
    {
        protected override WebRequest GetWebRequest(Uri address)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Override Called");
            return base.GetWebRequest(address);
        }
    }
}
Actual Results:  
The code wasn't called.

Expected Results:  
The code should be called.

Code runs on MS.Net successfully.
