           Summary: HttpWebRequest ReadWriteTimeout ignored

The <i>ReadWriteTimeout</i> property in HttpWebRequest.cs is assigned and
stored internally, but it is never used in the implementation.

When one tries to make a HTTPWebRequest to a remote end having unreliable
connections (like for example pppd), after the call has begun, the timeout
NEVER expires.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make a HTTPWebRequest
2. After the POST has begun, drop the connection on the remote end
3. The HTTPWebRequest should generate an exception after the value specified in
the ReadWriteTimeout property, but it does not.
Actual Results:  
The caller is not able to detect when the read-write timeout expires

Expected Results:  
After a value expressed in the ReadWriteTimeout property (milliseconds), a
WebException should be generated.
