Comment (by Disreali):

 That is only a stop-gap.

 Web+ should be able to handle ftp urls bt itself, instead of spawning a
 terminal. The fact that it can't is ludicrous.  I don't know of any modern
 web browsers that lack the ablility to handle ftp urls.

 On hrev45807 web+, typing "ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/"; into the address bar
 brings up a google search.

 I'll test post hrev45834, but web+ still should be able to handle ftp urls
 on its own, like Firefox or IE do.
