- * "PASV IP override" - When an FTPS host is behind a NAT firewall, passive
- mode fails. The PASV response from the host ["227 PASV Entering passive
- mode (_ip_address_, _port_)."] contains the private network IP address of
- the host, which since it is encrypted, cannot be modified by the firewall
- to the public IP address. What is needed is a cURL option to override the
- IP address passed by the host "227 PASV" response. Requested by Ed

* Support GSS/Kerberos 5 for ftp file transfer. This will allow user
authentication and file encryption. Possible libraries and example clients
are available from MIT or Heimdal. Requsted by Markus Moeller.
- * Optimize the way libcurl uses CWD on each new request over a persistent
- connection (on FTP) even if it doesn't have to.
-
* REST fix for servers not behaving well on >2GB requests. This should fail
if the server doesn't set the pointer to the requested index. The tricky
- part is to figure out if the server did the right thing or not.
+ (impossible?) part is to figure out if the server did the right thing or
+ not.
