| ArgumentNullException | requestUri is a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic). |
| SecurityException | The caller does not have permission to connect to the requested URI or a URI that the request is redirected to. |
Remarks
The CreateDefault method returns a WebRequest descendant instance based on only the scheme portion of a URI.
For example, when a URI beginning with http:// is passed in requestUri, an HttpWebRequest is returned by CreateDefault. If a URI beginning with file:// is passed instead, the CreateDefault method will return a FileWebRequest.
