+
+In the rare situation where you must download a specific file using the FTP
+<STRONG>ASCII</STRONG> transfer method (while the default transfer is in
+<STRONG>binary</STRONG> mode), you can override mod_proxy's default by
+suffixing the request with <SAMP>;type=a</SAMP> to force an ASCII transfer.<p>
