[PATCH] Support FTP-over-SSL/TLS for regular FTP

From
Modestas Vainius <modestas@vainius.eu>

<1357999192-877-1-git-send-email-modestas@vainius.eu>

Add a boolean http.sslTry option which allows to enable AUTH SSL/TLS and encrypted data transfers when connecting via regular FTP protocol.

Default is false since it might trigger certificate verification errors on misconfigured servers.
