Log:
The mod_proxy module proxy_ftp.c has an undocumented 'feature':
when the URL is suffixed by ';type=a', then an ASCII transfer is enforced.

+<h2><a name="type">How can I force an FTP ASCII download of File
<EM>xxx</EM>?</a></h2>
+
+In the rare situation where you must download a specific file using the FTP
+<STRONG>ASCII</STRONG> transfer method (while the default transfer is in
+<STRONG>binary</STRONG> mode), you can override mod_proxy's default by
+suffixing the request with <SAMP>;type=a</SAMP> to force an ASCII
transfer.<p>
