Or you could forego the IETF and instead work against the WHATWG's [URL spec](https://url.spec.whatwg.org/) which mentions ftp:// URLs, even if it doesn't describe how to actually use them. (You still need RFC1738 for that, alas.) https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-yevstifeyev-ftp-uri-scheme-08 is a draft. https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/7310#note-6 though some edge cases are still different... ---------------------------------------- Bug #13171: URI::FTP path has a trailing slash when just hostname and scheme provided https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13171#change-62803 * Author: Milo Price * Status: Open * Priority: Normal * Assignee: * Target version: * ruby -v: * Backport: 2.2: UNKNOWN, 2.3: UNKNOWN, 2.4: UNKNOWN ---------------------------------------- As with HTTP uris, the trailing slash on a FTP uri should be optional, per RFC 1738 (ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/doc/rfc/rfc1738.txt). However, under the current implementation, URI::FTP#to_s always has a trailing slash when only a hostname is provided (i.e., no path): ~~~ ruby URI.parse("http://example.com").to_s => "http://example.com" URI.parse("ftp://example.com").to_s => "ftp://example.com/" ~~~ -- https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/ Unsubscribe: <mailto:ruby-core-request / ruby-lang.org?subject=unsubscribe> <http://lists.ruby-lang.org/cgi-bin/mailman/options/ruby-core>
