The CreateHttp(Uri) method returns an instance of the HttpWebRequest class for the requestUri.
When a URI that begins with http:// or http:// is passed in the requestUri parameter, an HttpWebRequest is returned by CreateHttp(Uri). Another other scheme will throw a NotSupportedException.
The CreateHttp(Uri) method uses the requestUri parameter to create a new HttpWebRequest instance. If the method is successful, the AllowReadStreamBuffering property on the returned HttpWebRequest instance is set to false.
The .NET Framework includes support for the http:// and https:// URI schemes. Custom WebRequest descendants to handle other requests are registered with the RegisterPrefix method. The Create(Uri) method can be used to create a descendant of the WebRequest class for other schemes.
