                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-178
             Project: Commons VFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
    Affects Versions: Nightly Builds
            Reporter: Asankha C. Perera


I am trying to use VFS to connect to a FTP file, but the problem is that I 
cannot specify that PASSIVE mode should be used. I think we could use the 
format below to specify for example: ?passive=true etc.

Yes, for sure, this could make it too - I thought about it too. Even if
I am still not that happy with this query-string parsing/repacking stuff
I'd commit it if someone contributes a patch.
