Summary:  XmlTextReader no longer supports file input

Original Submission:  The changes made to XmlTextReader (Version 1.59) break 
its ability to read file urls; neighter

XmlTextReader x = new XmlTextReader("hello.xml");

nor

XmlTextReader x = new XmlTextReader("file:hello.xml");

work anymore. This is caused by current limitations in System.Net.WebRequest, 
which only supports Http and Https.
Could be solved by eighter improving WebRequest or applying a workaround closer 
to my patch 3511 (i.e. explicitely checking the url prefix for "http:" or 
"https.")
