I've never been able to get writeToURL: to work to anything other than
a local URL either.  Worse, I've not been able to find any
documentation that states what URL schemes are expected to work.  Given
the recent discussions around here on the fact that the NSURLRequest
code does not support PUT, despite looking like it should, I suspect
that the plan is for this to all work one day but at the moment it does
not.

It would be really helpful if someone from Apple could let this list
know (a) what URL schemes are expected to work in the context of
-writeToURL:... calls in 10.3 or before and (b) what the intention is
for this in the future.  I recently ran into the inability to use this
to send stuff to an FTP URL for a little web-cam program and it would
save me a big chunk of effort if it worked.

Cheers,
	Nicko
