           Summary: HttpRequest.Method always "GET" even when created with

Created an attachment (id=454955)
 --> (http://bugzilla.novell.com/attachment.cgi?id=454955)
source file which prints the Method

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:7.0.1) Gecko/20100101
Firefox/7.0.1

HttpRequest.Method is always set to "GET" even when the request was created by
an OpenWrite from a WebClient.
This is documented:
"System.Net.WebRequest.Method Property
 For the HTTP protocol, this value is GET."

The write is done correctly with POST later but in Microsoft implementation it
behaves different. There Method is set to "GET" when opened with OpenRead and
"POST" when opened with OpenWrite.
This is also kind of documented in msdn:
OpenWrite:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3t27yce3.aspx
"This method uses the STOR command to upload an FTP resource. For an HTTP
resource, the POST method is used."
OpenRead:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/781fwaz8.aspx
"This method uses the RETR command to download an FTP resource. For an HTTP
resource, the GET method is used."

Reproducible: Always
