Hi Rory,
i have not sufficient experience in Jakarta Commons Net, to decide or
even to talk about of this, but i would said a few things about your
reasoning...
> * FTPS support would not necessitate a separate (JSSE) jar dependency;
About dependency, i hope explain well in thread "JSSE and FTPS functionality".
> * It also may be easier to incrementally add new functionality, such as
> Proxy support
If when you said "Proxy support", you talk about the problem/bug
URLConnection, in JDK 1.3, that don't send user and password in
HttpURLConnection. i.e.
URL url = new URL("ftp://user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:port/path");
URLConnection conexion = (url).openConnection();
conexion.connect();
InputStream in = clientHttp.getInputStream();
To the proxy it send ftp://host:port/path...
Because of this, its imposible to implement FtpHttpProxyClient... (its
only works with anonymous client).
If you talk of this, i have a solution, 2 classes that extends and
modifie 2 classes of JDK 1.3
(sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection,
sun.net.www.http.HttpClient) and solve this problem...
If you want, i could colaborate...

I'm not negative :) only i would like use Jakarta Commons Net with my
JDK 1.3 proyects... If remember i don't ask colaborate, i only want 2
variables protected... :)
But, i don't mind colaborate with yours to make Jakarta Commons Net
better (and if possible JDK 1.3 compilant)

About this, i offer my time, to mantain FTPS under 1.3 or ever 1.4 :)
If you want...
Thank for your time.

one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf,
decaf, low-fat, non-fat, etc. So people who
don't know what the hell they're doing or who
on earth they are can, for only $2.95, get not
just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining
sense of self: Tall. Decaf. Cappuccino.
