84525 - Not handling 421 error on connect

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Networking: FTP, defect)

Description

[Scott MacGregor]

Using Build ID: 2001060704

If I try visit any web page that has an ftp url in it, I'm unable to run the ftp
url. I can click on it but nothing happens. I wonder if we are blocking the ftp
connection? 

various urls that showed the same problem:
http://www.3dgamers.com/dl/games/unrealtourn/utpatch436.exe.html

I had to use a different browser in order to download these files =(.

On 5/31 04 build, using your link and clicking on the Virginia ftp link, the
barber pole just spins and nothing happens.  Does the barber pole spin for you?

The server is dropping the control connection on us with a 421 status as soon as 
we connect.  We ain't handling that case:

http://www.mozilla.org/releases/ has an ftp link called "Use This talkback
enabled .bin" that properly brings up the download dialog. Is there something
funky about the page where this happens?

Doesn't look like this is getting fixed before the freeze tonight.
Pushing out a milestone.  Please correct if I'm mistaken.
