=begin Hi, I needed to download a file from a FTP server, with OpenURI and I've found that it is not possible to do it with authentication. There is an option in the OpenURI open method to use a username/password but it is not used in FTP connection, the username/password for FTP is always set to anonymous/_nil_. I've written avery basic patch to use the option. Is it something that can be included in future releases of Ruby ? Is there a "clean" way to patch OpenURI in the meantime ? Thanks. =end
