Description Herbert Poetzl 2012-01-30 20:49:57 CET 
Description of problem:
it seems that epiphany cannot handle ftp urls and gives a strange reply:

| Oops! It was not possible to show this website
|
| The website at ftp://mageia.c3sl.ufpr.br/mageia seems to be unavailable. The precise error was:
| 
| URL cannot be shown
| It could be temporarily switched off or moved to a new address. 
| Don't forget to check that your internet connection is working correctly.
| 
| Try again

of course, trying again will not change anything ....

epiphany-3.3.4.1-1.mga2.x86_64

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. open epiphany

Comment 2 Herbert Poetzl 2012-03-26 23:58:33 CEST 
it's a shame that 'the gnome browser' cannot handle ftp urls, but at least the response should clarify that it isn't implemented and not advise the user to 'try again' and 'check the internet connection' ...

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

Still current for Mageia 5
But is not a bug. Epiphany only handles webpages so I will close this. If anyone disagrees please reopen it.
