FTP is not being passed the URI at all, its entirely for the
convenience of the application. As such, that argument makes no sense.

Either way, this does not fix the underlying problem.

Take this perfectly valid URI: (it does not point to an actual file,
but that is irrelevant): http://ffmpeg.org:80/foo@bar
If you support slashes in the username or password, this points at a
host named "bar" and has login details - both a username and a
password. If you don't, then this points at ffmpeg.org, port 80, and
some valid path.

Only one of those interpretations is correct, and everyone else,
including the RFC, says it should be the second.
