           Summary: HttpWebRequest disallows writing to the request stream
                    for certain http methods
    Classification: Mono
           Product: Mono: Class Libraries
           Version: 2.6.x
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW

I'm porting a C# application to Mono that connects to a REST web service. The
REST API expects an http DELETE request with an xml document as the request
body. .NET allows a call to HttpWebRequest.GetRequestStream() regardless of the
request method.

Mono does not allow anything to be written to the request stream due to the
following code:

<code>
bool send = !(method == "GET" || method == "CONNECT" || method == "HEAD" ||
    method == "TRACE" || method == "DELETE");
if (method == null || !send)
    throw new ProtocolViolationException ("Cannot send data when method is: " +
method);
</code>

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Please run attached test case. On .NET the request will be constructed and sent
while on mono, GetRequestStrea() will thrown a ProtocolViolationException.
