Name

       lua-uri-ftp - FTP URI support for Lua URI library

Description

       The class "uri.ftp" is used for URIs with the "ftp" scheme.  It inherits from the
       uri._login class.

       FTP URIs with a missing authority part or an empty host part are considered to be invalid.
       An empty path is always normalized to '/'.  The default port is 21.

Methods

       All the methods defined in lua-uri(3) and lua-uri-_login(3) are supported, in addition to
       the following:

       uri:ftp_typecode(...)
           Mutator for the 'type' parameter at the end of the path.  If the optional argument is
           supplied then a new type is set, replacing the existing one, or causing the type
           parameter to be added to the path if it isn't there already.

               local uri = assert(URI:new("ftp://host/path"))
               uri:ftp_typecode("a")   -- ftp://host/path;type=a
               uri:ftp_typecode(nil)   -- ftp://host/path

           Passing in an empty string has the same effect as nil, removing the parameter.  An
           empty type parameter will be returned as nil, the same as if the parameter was
           missing.

References

       This class is based on "RFC 1738 section 3.2".  Unfortunately there isn't currently an RFC
       for FTP URIs based on the more up to date "RFC 3986".
