>Description:
ftp(1) does not send the HTTP/1.1 Host: header when retrieving from an http:// URL. This header was implemented on HTTP/1.0 servers for virtual hosting purposes and is commonly sent by clients as part of an HTTP/1.0 request. If you attempt to access an HTTP server when you only know its IP number, it will attempt to obtain the document from a default document root. Virtual hosting servers need to see the Host: header in order to know which root dir to use.

>How-To-Repeat:
*.apache.org sites all share the same IP number, but the document root for each site varies.

Therefore, this fails:
ftp http://xml.apache.org/dist/LICENSE.txt
