[chef] Re: RE: Re: remote_file resource for FTP with username and password

[Lamont Granquist < >]

The Chef error is just being rethrown because URI.parse() in ruby can't 
handle those URIs and I just tested on ruby-2.1.1 and that class still 
doesn't know how to deal with AD domain users in FTP urls.  It looks 
like it would be possible to extend remote_file to take "username" and 
"password" attributes and pass those into the remote_file FTP 
downloader class and use those instead of trying to extract the user + 
pass out of the URI.  Right now the username and password look like 
they have to come from the URI though so its not possible to use 
usernames and passwords that ruby cannot parse.  You should look for an 
open chef ticket on this or open a new one up if you can't find one.
