I did a quick scan of libfetch (fetch(3)) and it seems clean. Thats sort of interesting to me because I've wondered for some time why ftp does not actually use libfetch. Can't say whether ftp not sharing the libfetch code is good or bad, in this case.

Because ftp(1) was written long before libfetch(3), and nobody wanted to rewrite it.


Why would this be down-voted? I take it you are not supposed to wonder or ask anything on HN?

If not, looks like the mods need to hand out some infractions to these down-vote happy morons.
