---------------------------------------

Mario,

Can you apply current fix and redo it in generic way later, or we need to wait for generic patch?

> 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.
