Retiring the FTP service will impair my ability to contribute

For a long time, I struggled to download copies of IETF
documents in the form that the author intended. The topic
arose on this list and I was pointed at the FTP service and
this solved my problems; the amount of work I could do in the
IETF increased.

Ok, I'll bite.
Are you saying that when you open
https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7230.txt
in a browser and do a "save as...", you're getting a broken
document?
Julian,
In the hope of being clear about what we are talking about and
given Roman's repeated reassurances that none of the plan to
retire the IETF's FTP serices has anything to do with the RFC
Editor, would it be correct to say that you meant to ask about
the IETF's I-D collection, RFC mirror collection, and assorted
other documents available from the IETF to IETF tools sites?
...
Actually, I asked about RFCs on rfc-editor.org - which is clearly the
point to go for authoratative versions of RFCs.
I'm just trying to find out whether something is broken with respect to
http(s) access as opposed to ftp service - be it on ietf.org or
rfc-editor.org. If there is something indeed broken, we should fix it,
right?
Best regards, Julian
