http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39108 ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2006-03-27 22:44 ------- I think the original idea was that everything not functioning as a directory is assumed to be functioning as a file, as to be able to compare / download as much as possible. Also, something which is of type unknown may still be functioning as file or directory, so to return false right away doesn't seem to be the right decision for those checks. For example fifo's are neither files nor directories, yet they will function as file when read from / written to. Maybe unknown is also used for FTP servers that do not propagate any obvious difference between file entries and directory entries. Therefore, it is not clear to me what would be the benefit of always having isFunctioningAsDirectory and isFunctioningAsFile returning false if the type is unknown. -- Configure bugmail: http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
