Hi Guys,
I've run into an issue with proxy and FTP. Squid is doing more than a browser 
would do to display a directory listing but I'm not sure why.
The FTP site has a directory structure like /top/dir1/dir2/dir3/files where 
dir2 is not readable. Using a browser without proxy, you can navigate to 
/top/dir1/dir2/dir3/ and get a listing of files in dir3 as well as download any 
of them. Accessing via squid will fail and I've found through packet caps and 
poking around code that it does a CWD on each of the directories starting at 
top. It runs into dir2 where it has no permissions, receives and error and 
quits.

I'm sure there is a reason for recursively listing each directory but, in this 
case, I don't think a fail should be the end of the road. It may cause a 
specific possible future action unavailable. Is there a workaround? Is this 
something that should be submitted as a feature request? Am I misunderstanding 
something?

Enlightenment is appreciated. Thanks,

-Senor
