I don't agree.  I understand your reservations about HTTP support in
ftp(1), but you underestimate the usefulness of URI syntax for
interactive use:

	(unset ftp_proxy; ftp ftp://ftp.example.com/some/path/)

While you may wish to remove HTTP support from ftp(1), URI handling is a
good thing and is worth fixing.

Ciao,
Sheldon.
