Please note that this message will contain a full copy of the comment thread, including the initial issue submission, for this request, not just the latest update. Category: Python Library Group: Python 2.4 Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Submitted By: Matthias Klose (doko) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: urllib violates rfc 959 Initial Comment: [forwarded from http://bugs.debian.org/324023] python's urllib does the following things "on the line" when retrieving a file by ftp: send(3, "PASV\r\n", 6, 0) = 6 send(3, "NLST ftp-master.debian.org\r\n", 28, 0) = 28 But RFC 959 states: This command [NLST] causes a directory listing to be sent from server to user site. The pathname should specify a directory or other system-specific file group descriptor So, according to the robustness principle, it is wrong that python aborts file transfer if the server refuses to support NLST on files. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=105470&aid=1281692&group_id=5470 _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
