Definitive list of protocols supported by the WebClient and WebRequest classes.
- by the-locster
The docs state:
From WebRequest.Create Method
The .NET Framework includes support for the http://, https://, and file:// URI schemes. Custom WebRequest descendants to handle other requests are registered with the RegisterPrefix method.
However I've also been using this class to get files via ftp (not listed in the docs). Is there a definitive list of supported protocols documented anywhere?
UPDATE: To clarify. Yes additional protocols can be plugged-in, but what is the standard/baseline set of protocols supported in the class framework assuming I haven't registered any others. e.g. sftp, tftp?
