ftp request problems with 2.5.Stable12

Hi all.

It's not just Stable12, I've also tested that with Stable6 and Stable4
...

In the case a user requests a directory listing and he does have the
proper rights for the target directory, but not for the path leading to
it, Squid responds with a 404 (ftp 550). When using any other proxy
(BlueCoat, Netcache etc.) or direct access with the browser (or a ftp
client) then he can access the location.

I've sniffed a bit of the traffic and saw that Squid actually tries to
"cwd" through the whole path, one layer at a time, while all others
directly "cwd" into the target directory with one request.

So, is that a bug, or is it seen as a special feature? As far as I know,
the rfc isn't very specific, but as all others do it the other way ...

regards,
Oliver Baumgaertel
