--- Comment #2 from M. Tompsett <mtompset at hotmail.com> ---
Actually, couldn't you put an http URL for an ftp proxy into host?

./misc/cronjobs/check-url.pl --host=http://this.site.proxies.ftp.requests

then it would attempt to go to
http://this.site.proxies.ftp.requests/ftp://whatever/whereever/whatever.foo

Personally, I'd prefer to see a re-write to allow for other protocols (bring
back gopher! :) ).

Because skipping the ftp URLs kind of defeats the purpose of the script which
is to validate that the URLs exist. This could be a significant problem if a
large portion of URLs are not http.
