Thanks Alan & Daniel.

Yes, I agree that the value of "fixing" this issue seems low.

The context for looking into this was that this is one of two things that
is behaviorally different between the Handler implementations, all other
differences are strictly code style and formatting noise.

Before implementing JDK-8353440 to disable FTP fallback by default I might
want to look into refactoring the handlers such that they are syntactically
similar and that the actual platform specific differences are easier to
spot and document. Currently, it's a bit of a head-twister to figure out
how exactly they differ in behavior vs syntax.

Thanks,
Eirik.
