>Description:
If I proxy ftp through Apache to a site useing a url in the format
  ftp://foo.com, it works fine.

If I proxy ftp to a site useing a url in the format ftp://anonymous@foo.com
  I get the error:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access ftp://anonymous@foo.com on this server.

If I proxy ftp to a site useing a url in the format ftp://anonymous:@foo.com
  it works.
>How-To-Repeat:
ftp://ftp.netscape.com            Works
ftp://anonymous@ftp.netscape.com  Fails
ftp://anonymous:@ftp.netscape.com Works
