[VFS] Getting a release out...

2007-10-24 Thread Asankha C. Perera
Hi Mario We are now using VFS from Apache Synapse, and I have submitted two patches which we require: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-178 - allows options (such as ?vfs.passive=true to be used with FTP URLs) http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-106 - adds a Zip provider using T

Hi all I am trying to use VFS to connect to a FTP file, but the problem is that I cannot specify that PASSIVE mode should be used. I think we could use the format below to specify for example: ?passive=true etc. ftp://myusername:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/pub/downloads/somefile.tgz?option=value Have
