How do I redirect to an ftp:// url with Spring Webflow?

Question

I'm trying to use Spring WebFlow to redirect to a computed url to an ftp server, but in the ExternalRedirect code are the following lines:

} else if (location.startsWith("http://") || location.startsWith("https://")) {
    sendRedirect(location, request, response);
} else {
    sendServletRelativeRedirect(location, request, response);
}

Is there any way to get Spring WebFlow to redirect to, say, ftp://example.com/?

You should consider using this: http://www.tuckey.org/urlrewrite/

I have it setup with every spring project I work on.
