Details

In order that new users are shown the README (hopefully revised as per bug id 117547) when downloading files from ftp.mozilla.org via HTTP, implement this suggestion: <timeless> basically the proposal would be to make the ftp server's webserver give you the login message at the top of the first page in the ftp hierarchy, where first is defined by referer, so if your web browser dropped referer on the floor, you'd get it constantly. This would be for http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/*
-> taking QA contact so I don't need to watch Dawn anymore. ;)

FTP via HTTP is handled by the mirror sites.

We are no longer using FTP for the main rotation. Thank goodness.
