so, where exactly does squid NOT support active mode, when it does support
it on client's side and on the server side when gatewaying FTP commands?


btw I suggest calling it "port" FTP mode instead of active

active vs passive are well-known terms for how DATA connections in FTP work (<http://slacksite.com/other/ftp.html> to pick the top result in from Google claiming to be *the* definition of the terms). AFAIK, the words come from RFC 959 itself:

ok, got it.
