New submission from Senthil Kumaran <orsent...@gmail.com>: file:// scheme should not be allowed to access a file on remote machines. RFC 1738, says that host, if present should be the FQDN of the machine, but relaxing on that I thinking that localhost and its variants should okay as long as it is the local machine.
What is going to break in 3.2 is file:// trying to access resources on remote machine via FTP, which it is currently trying to do. Attached is patch to accomplish this.(NEWS and Docs will be added). This would introduce a regression, so this may not be backported. ---------- assignee: orsenthil components: Library (Lib) files: file_scheme.diff keywords: patch messages: 118327 nosy: orsenthil priority: normal severity: normal stage: patch review status: open title: file:// scheme will stop accessing via ftp protocol type: behavior versions: Python 3.2 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file19182/file_scheme.diff _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10063> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
