Replying to [comment:10 pulkomandy]:
That argument is invalid, Gopher is 20 years more recent than FTP ;)
From my perspective they are both "old" protocols :P
WebPositive now spawns a Terminal window running /bin/ftp for ftp://
links.
It still does this, but unfortunately:
{{{
/bin/sh: line 1: ftp: command not found
Press any key
}}}
I would expect WebPositive to hand off uri-schemes it doesn't understand
to the OS indiscriminately and not run some commands in Terminal.
In any case, are there still any public ftp servers left? Seeing as we
have a ftp server included in the base install it probably makes sense to
support this, but then again we could argue that the server should be
removed instead in favor of using sftp or sctp.
webkit has some support for ftp we can probably use aswell, our
netservices don't support it currently (but seeing as it is unstable again
we are free to experiment to add it if we want without abi problems. :)
