ExtendedHttpWebRequest Issue

[paulushub]

Hi there,
 
I have seen that you are using your ExtendedHttpWebRequest class to handle some features. I have a problem with this class, because it has broken my code. I have written the small example to explain my problem:
 
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Everything works ok, here
{
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://google.com");
var httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)request;
}

 
// Css document object is created
CssXmlDocument doc = new CssXmlDocument();

 
// InvalidCastException appears here
{
WebRequest request = WebRequest.Create("http://google.com");
var httpRequest = (HttpWebRequest)request;
}
}
}

 
This problem occurs because in CssXmlDocument there is following code:
SharpVectors.Net.ExtendedHttpWebRequest.Register();
SharpVectors.Net.DataWebRequest.Register();

 
I believe it is a bug, because HTTP and HTTPS schemes handling is implemented in .NET and in MSDN it is written: "The HttpWebRequest class is registered to service requests for HTTP and HTTPS schemes by default. Attempts to register a different WebRequest descendant for these schemes will fail.". This is certainly false, nevertheless these two schemes should not be overriden.
