is contrary to RFC1738, which specifies that empty elements between
slashes really mean to send a CWD command with an empty argument.
Most FTP servers consider this an error, so strict RFC compliance
is advisable in this case.
undocumented FTP_PROXY_USER
Make FTP file errors contian hostname and path.
Pass the FTP port to libftp.
Partially un-HTMLify error messages returned from server
Handle "HTTP NNN" instead of "HTTP/V.vv NNN" response sent by

- Fix the bug with URIs of the form ftp://host/filename.
- Fix some more string-termination bugs in util.c.
- Use safe_malloc() rather than testing the return value of
regular malloc() in 15 places.
- Implement HTTP authentication, for both servers and proxies.
Currently only ``basic'' authentication is supported; This Is A Bug
(but less of one tjhan nmot supporting any authentication).
I think there is only one more feature which is required for full
HTTP/1.1 support, which is Transfer-Encoding: chunked; this should
not be toohard, but it isn't very important, either.
recognize it any more. This makes the following significant changes:
- The main body of the program doesn't know a thing about URIs,
HTTP, or FTP. This makes it possible to easily plug in other
protocols. (The next revision will probably be able to dynamically
add new recognizers.)
- There are no longer arbitrary timeouts for the protocols. If you want
to set one for yourself, use the environment variables.
- FTP proxies are now supported (if I implemented it right).
- The HTTP implementation is much more complete, and can now do restarts,
preserve modtimes, and mrun in mirror mode. It's not yet up to 1.1,
but it's getting there.
- Transaction TCP is now used for sending HTTP requests. The HTTP/1.1 syntax
for requesting that the connection be closed after one request is
implemented.
In all of this, I have doubtless broken somebody. Please test it and tell me
about the bugs.
