Description

I know that FTPHTTPClient is experimental, but - I have discovered 2 bugs in it:

• response from proxy is taken only if username and password are set
• username and response are not correctly provided to Base64.encode() method

I will attach a patch with proposed fix, feel free to apply it if you think it's correct.

One more note: I'm not expert in this area so sorry if this question is nonsense but - shouldn't it be possible to connect to the encrypted FTP over HTTP proxy as well? Or am I completely wrong and this can't be ever possible.

Thanks.
