+- I was going to fix issue #59 in KNOWN_BUGS
+
+  If the CURLOPT_PORT option is used on an FTP URL like
+  "ftp://example.com/file;type=A" the ";type=A" is stripped off.
+
+  I added test case 562 to verify, only to find out that I couldn't repeat
+  this bug so I hereby consider it not a bug anymore!

 - Based on bug report #2723219 (http://curl.haxx.se/bug/view.cgi?id=2723219)
   I've now made TFTP "connections" not being kept for re-use within libcurl.

 58. It seems sensible to be able to use CURLOPT_NOBODY and
   CURLOPT_FAILONERROR with FTP to detect if a file exists or not, but it is
   not working: http://curl.haxx.se/mail/lib-2008-07/0295.html
