Just in case anyone ever lobbies to disable /dev/tcp in Bash again, I want to add my support to leaving it enabled. Lots of languages have features which are dubious at best ("leading zero means octal", for example), but distributions tend to leave those features in place because the languages are

Another request to fix this. It is a really simple fix, it only needs to remove the "--disable-net-redirections" configure option added by Debian and bring bash closer to what it was intended to be by its developers. The Debian maintainer gave this justification in /usr/share/doc/bash/README.Debia

To add a bit more info, Bash can optionally provide a virtual /dev/tcp and /dev/udp which can be used to request output from a udp/tcp port. This works on many other distributions and is a really great feature of Bash.. it's a shame that this isnt enabled. -- add /dev/tcp/... support https://bugs
