Description

Description

The following code:

<?php

$iter = new RecursiveDirectoryIterator('ftp://ftp.belnet.be/', \RecursiveDirectoryIterator::SKIP_DOTS);

var_dump($iter->current());
$iter->next();
var_dump($iter->current());
$iter->rewind();

Resulted in this output:

Warning: FilesystemIterator::rewind(): stream does not support seeking

But I expected this output instead:

support should not be related with seeking support

Research direction

Start with the provided RecursiveDirectoryIterator reproduction and trace FilesystemIterator::rewind() for ftp:// streams, including the stream's seeking capability. Compare iterator rewind semantics with the expected behavior and add or update a regression test for the warning; done means rewinding does not incorrectly require seeking support.
