Did pkg drop ftp support?

[Helmut Schneider]

Hi,

url: "pkg+ftp://ftp.mysite/pub/FreeBSD/ports/${ABI}"

worked fine until ~2 weeks ago. Now I get an error message when running
pkg:

[helmut at BSDHelmut1064 ~]$ sudo pkg update
pkg: invalid scheme pkg+ftp
pkg: Cannot parse configuration file!
[helmut at BSDHelmut1064 ~]$

Was ftp support dropped?
