Per RFC 959 section 2.3: "The server may abort data transfer if the control connections are closed without command." so this is acceptable behaviour on the part of the server, and means we need to keep the control connection open for longer. ---------- nosy: +bbrazil Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file26290/issue15002-tcpdump-early-fin _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue15002> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
