Several people in this thread have indicated that they have wasted hours if not days to track down seemingly random failures.
The Ubuntu manpage guarantees this to work: echo -n "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n" | nc host.example.com 80 The original OpenBSD nc does not even have the -q option: http://www.openbsd.org/cgi- bin/man.cgi?query=nc&apropos=0&sektion=0&manpath=OpenBSD+Current&arch=i386&format=html In short, there is no good way to debug the issue quickly, especially if the failures are sporadic (like on localhost). Given that this bug was introduced by Ubuntu, the importance should be raised to "high". -- netcat-openbsd exits too soon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/544935 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
