Found some lovely piece of code deep into the FTP parts of Zope 2 last saturday, one of them is truely ugly. It's listing the contents of the current and parent folders for no apparent reason (or at least, it didn't make sense either to me or Chris McDonough).
The code in question is in the ``manage_FTPstat`` method of ``OFS.ObjectManager``. Tracing back the source of this code, it seems to have been (surprisingly) introduced by Jim Fulton, back in 1999. [1] Later on, Amos Latteier changed part of the code (namely ``manage_FTPlist``) to use a slightly more friendlier, yet equally confusing ``is_acquired`` method. [2] I'm now sitting here, trying to make sense of this code and wondering what was the original intention in the first place. Would anyone have a clue?
