Summary: Double slashes and root dir

Initial Comment:
Know bug number 6 states:
libcurl ignores empty path parts in FTP URLs, whereas RFC1738 states that such parts should be sent to the server as 'CWD ' (without an argument). The only exception to this rule, is that we knowingly break this if the empty part is first in the path, as then we use the double slashes to indicate that the user wants to reach the root dir (this exception SHALL remain even when this bug is fixed).

I think this means libcurl will ignore double slashes unless it's the first in the path, which will bring us to the root dir. But that's not what is happening. libcurl is always ignoring the double slashes leaving us with no way to list the root directory. (Except .. hacks)
