QUrl parses a URL incorrectly . . . at least for the ftp scheme (and I think for the others as well)

For the URL "ftp://user@pwd@host:port/my/path/to/data/FILE", the QUrl class will parse all the components correctly except the path, which is set as:

/my/path/to/data instead of my/path/to/data

The leading '/' is the problem. This does not allow a logged in user access to his home directory. It always tries to access starting at the root path. According to the RCF1738, the url-path does not include the '/' separator before the path. To actual specify the "root" path the code '%2F' is used instead of another '/'. The CUrl does not seem to parse this properly as the % code is still part of the path.
