I do not believe that tabs have any special meaning in FTP. The continuation
lines in FTP can start with any character, the space is only a pad for when
the continuation line begins with a three digit number.
For example, the following response is completely valid:
250-Command OK
Second line with no space
666 Line with a number
250 Command finished
So the client needs to read everything between first line starting with 250-
and the line containing 250<sp>, so ap_getline will probaly not work.
