=head1 NAME

Regexp::Common::URI::ftp -- Returns a pattern for FTP URIs.

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Regexp::Common qw /URI/;

    while (<>) {
        /$RE{URI}{FTP}/       and  print "Contains an FTP URI.\n";
    }

=head1 DESCRIPTION

=head2 $RE{URI}{FTP}{-type}{-password};

Returns a regex for FTP URIs. Note: FTP URIs are not formally defined.
RFC 1738 defines FTP URLs, but parts of that RFC have been obsoleted
by RFC 2396. However, the differences between RFC 1738 and RFC 2396 
are such that they aren't applicable straightforwardly to FTP URIs.

There are two main problems:

=over 4

=item Passwords.

RFC 1738 allowed an optional username and an optional password (separated
by a colon) in the FTP URL. Hence, colons were not allowed in either the
username or the password. RFC 2396 strongly recommends passwords should
not be used in URIs. It does allow for I<userinfo> instead. This userinfo
part may contain colons, and hence contain more than one colon. The regexp
returned follows the RFC 2396 specification, unless the I<{-password}>
option is given; then the regex allows for an optional username and
password, separated by a colon.

=item The ;type specifier.

RFC 1738 does not allow semi-colons in FTP path names, because a semi-colon
is a reserved character for FTP URIs. The semi-colon is used to separate
the path from the option I<type> specifier. However, in RFC 2396, paths
consist of slash separated segments, and each segment is a semi-colon 
separated group of parameters. Straigthforward application of RFC 2396
would mean that a trailing I<type> specifier couldn't be distinguished
from the last segment of the path having a two parameters, the last one
starting with I<type=>. Therefore we have opted to disallow a semi-colon
in the path part of an FTP URI.

Furthermore, RFC 1738 allows three values for the type specifier, I<A>,
I<I> and I<D> (either upper case or lower case). However, the internet
draft about FTP URIs B<[DRAFT-FTP-URL]> (which expired in May 1997) notes
the lack of consistent implementation of the I<D> parameter and drops I<D>
from the set of possible values. We follow this practise; however, RFC 1738
behaviour can be archieved by using the I<-type => "[ADIadi]"> parameter.

=back

FTP URIs have the following syntax:

    "ftp:" "//" [ userinfo "@" ] host [ ":" port ]
                [ "/" path [ ";type=" value ]]

When using I<{-password}>, we have the syntax:

    "ftp:" "//" [ user [ ":" password ] "@" ] host [ ":" port ]
                [ "/" path [ ";type=" value ]]

Under C<{-keep}>, the following are returned:

=over 4

=item $1

The complete URI.

=item $2

The scheme.

=item $3

The userinfo, or if I<{-password}> is used, the username.

=item $4

If I<{-password}> is used, the password, else C<undef>.

=item $5

The hostname or IP address.

=item $6

The port number.

=item $7

The full path and type specification, including the leading slash.

=item $8

The full path and type specification, without the leading slash.

=item $9

The full path, without the type specification nor the leading slash.

=item $10

The value of the type specification.
