*shudder*
Actually, the _correct_ fix is for clients and servers to implement
the latest FTP i18n RFC, which makes NULL escaping CR characters
mandatory. If clients and servers did that, and only allowed CRLF to
terminate a command/response, we wouldn't have these problems.
Of course, if you _really_ want to fix FTP, drop the silly data
connection entirely and do the whole thing over a single
connection. Of course, _that_ would basically be a new protocol with
only a vague resemblence to FTP. Which is the whole point :)
Hmmm... HTTP/1.1 methods for NLST, PWD, etc... maybe ;)
