Hi,

/usr/bin/ftp (tnftp) cannot retrieve 

  http://rapidsvn.tigris.org/files/documents/341/8734/rapidsvn-0.4.0.tar.gz

due to the use of HTTP cookies. So far this has been the only URL where I
have seen this and I wonder whether people would be interested in cookie
support (RFC 2109) for tnftp. Tnftp already knows HTTP redirection and
support for cookies would enhance support of HTTP without turning it into
a clone of GNU wget, IMO.

ciao
