Yes. This test was already there, and it failed in unexpected ways, so I had to look at it quite closely. I'm not too happy about it, since it tests several things at once (illegal strings, bytewise delivery), but I decided to leave it there for now, just to make sure that I don't miss some test case with the new unit tests. As Andrew pointed out, this unittest assumes that dataReceived is still (somewhat) functional after the detection of an invalid netstring. This does not make much sense IMO, and it complicates the code. I'd prefer to raise an exception and adapt the unittest accordingly. But I still don't know which exception would be best. There is a ConnectionLost exception, which is raised in twisted.protocols.amp.BinaryBoxProtocol when the transport is None. Other options are ConnectionClosed and ConnectionDone (both are not raised directly anywhere), or a new one. Maybe ConnectionLost is the most appropriate one.
