Ok, it's probably not a common scenatio :)

Sure, new option would be perfect for me.

Basically, I am working on a proprietary application that used ftp connections
and behaved this way. Now when I try to port it to libcurl, regression tests
fail. So it's a backward compatibility issue for me.
I don't know if any other ftp client or server works by default in this way.
