Bug in libfetch handling of FTP urls..

[John Baldwin]

Ran into this at work.  Suppose I am fetching a file over ftp for a user foo 
whose home dir is /home/foo' and I want to retrieve the 'bar/baz' file out of 
his home directory.  According to my understanding of RFC 1378 
(http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html, specifically section 3.2.2), this URL 
should work:

fetch ftp://foo@someserver/bar/baz

However, we find that we have to specify the full path:

fetch ftp://foo@someserver/home/foo/bar/baz

It seems that fetch is including the '/' as part of the url-path and doing 
'CWD /bar ; RETR baz' rather than treating it as a separator and doing 'CWD 
bar; RETR baz'.

I verified this by doing 'fetch -vv' and seeing that it does one big CWD 
(instead of the multiple CWD's the RFC says should happen) and that it 
includes the leading '/' when it should not.

Also, it seems that fetch ignores the ';type=X' optional part of the url-path 
and always uses TYPE I.
