No. I can understand perfectly fine why you'd want this, but libcurl is
actually trying hard to following the RFC 1738 (secion 3.2.2) in this aspect.

I'm open for ideas on how to change libcurl in this area to fit more
situations.

RFC1738 says (pasting selected phrases):

       The url-path of a FTP URL has the following syntax:

         <cwd1>/<cwd2>/.../<cwdN>/<name>;type=<typecode>

       Where <cwd1> through <cwdN> and <name> are (possibly encoded) strings

  ...

       Each of the <cwd> elements is to be supplied, sequentially, as the
       argument to a CWD (change working directory) command.
