(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[SamePaul]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

According to standard FTP client should issue OPTS UTF8 command, but FireFox does not it. Thus it is impossible to download files with mixed international characters in filename

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on link ftp://samepaul.myftp.org/music/Sovok/АукцЫон/Анабэна/02%20-%20Анабэна.mp3
2. file is supposed to start download


Actual Results:  
In FTP server log you can see that UTF8 encoded URL is used, but since OPTS UTF8 command was not used the server can't find actual file.

Expected Results:  
Either do not use UTF8-encoded file name or issue OPTS UTF8 before download

> According to standard FTP

that's not part of FTP itself.

it's not part of rfc 2640 either. is this part of any standard?
