Mono uses the WebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy() method to return system proxy
information. The object returned is of type IWebProxy. Because WebRequest is an
abstract class we cannot call it directly. I have tested it like

IWebProxy proxy=FtpWebRequest.GetSystemWebProxy();

By looking into the implementation of GetSystemWebProxy() we can see, that the
proxy information is extracted from the http_proxy environment varible only.
The proxy bypass information which may have been configured in the system is
simply ignored. But IWebProxy doesn't provide any properties for that purpose
either.

The WebProxy class derives from IWebProxy and has a BypassList property
defined. However, this property is never set and thus it's value is always
null.

As a result, the proxy bypass list configured in the system is ignored by Mono
and thus this feature cannot be used.
