Roo uses open-uri to load remote files. Open-uri can download files over both http and ftp, however, roo was short-circuiting this and only loading open-uri if the uri started with "http://" or "https://". I've modified this check to also allow "ftp://" uris to be loaded.
It would have been nice to do this more dynamically, by "asking" open-uri what protocols it supports, but there doesn't seem to be a way to do this in open-uri at present.
