Don't allow http(s) hosts to redirect to ftp://

Reported by darkudo...@gmail.com, Oct 5

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:64.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/64.0

Example URL:
https://bit.ly/2Pev7qb

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Click on https://bit.ly/2Pev7qb

What is the expected behavior?
Safari blocks this and shows attached error message. Only if I then click into the address bar and press enter it loads the ftp page.

What went wrong?
We see ftp://terrax.net/index.html

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 71.0.3569.0  Channel: dev
OS Version: Debian Testing
Flash Version: 

This is a spin-off for https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=892610#c2.
I also filed a bug at https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1496725.

This is a "feature" request to adopt Safari's behavior (better security UX). It's not a regression.
I don't see a DNS or network problem on our side.
Here is another example: https://bit.ly/2yoJVLp redirects to ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/

As per comment#4 the issue seems to be a feature request, hence marking it as untriaged and requesting someone from the dev team to look into the issue.

Thanks.!

marking available, cc'ing meacer. seems like a low priority thing that would be reasonable to do

+palmer and nasko who might have opinions about ftp :)

I believe the original report means redirects only, and not navigations. If so, this might be a reasonable thing to do.

[mkwst]:  FYI, since you've been leading the charge on removing some cases where FTP is supported.
