           Summary: Behavior difference with HttpWebResponse.Close between
                    Mono and .Net
    Classification: Mono

After calling Close () on an HttpWebResponse in Mono, the object will be
completely unusable as it's been marked as disposed. However, in .NET accessing
certain properties on the object is allowed after the Close () call, which
seems most reasonable.

I think Mono's implementation is too strict. Close should only free resources
that may otherwise not be collected during a regular GC and/or release
resources back into some pool for further immediate IO, etc.

Below is a simple test case. It will print the ResponseUri when running on .NET
("http://www.reddit.com" as of the time of this filing) but on Mono calling
get_ResourceUri will throw System.ObjectDisposedException.


using System;
using System.Net;

public static class HttpWebResponseDisposalTest
{
    public static void Main ()
    {
        var request = (HttpWebRequest)HttpWebRequest.Create
("http://reddit.com");
        var response = request.GetResponse ();
        response.Close ();
        Console.WriteLine (response.ResponseUri);
    }
}
