[Bug 36285] Open Link on ftp:// URI leads to infinite loop if no anonymous access

[Paul Sladen]

Public bug reported:

Affects: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Severity: Normal
       Priority: (none set)
         Status: Unconfirmed

Description:
In gnome-terminal:

  echo ftp://ftp.gag.com/debian/

Right-Click "Open Link".  This FTP server exists but currently has
anonymous access disabled, because of the Login incorrect message,
gnome-terminal's builtin(!?) FTP client goes into an infinite loop with
the terminal not being updatable and 'kill -9' the only solution.

  connect(23, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(21), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.133.104.8")}, 16) = 0
  read(23, "220 ProFTPD 1.2.10 Server (Debia"..., 4096) = 52
  write(23, "USER anonymous\r\n", 16)     = 16
  read(23, "331 Password required for anonym"..., 4096) = 38
  write(23, "PASS nobody at gnome.org\r\n", 23) = 23
  read(23, "530 Login incorrect.\r\n", 4096) = 22
  close(23)

Please email 'bdale at gag.com' so he can re-enable his FTP server after
this is tracked down.
