New submission from daggett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: I reported a bug in fedora bugzilla : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443033
I thought this was an Anaconda (Fedora installer written in Python) error, but someone wrote this is a Python urllib error, so I post it here to be sure this is a Python error or not. The bug is: When downloading a file from an FTP server, it uses the REST command everytime and don't bother to check if the FTP server supports this command. So if the FTP server does not support the REST command, the download just fails and there is no alternative: no mean to download a file. But it should have detected that the FTP server does not support the REST command and try to download using the GET command instead. It happened when net-installing Fedora8 from ftp://ftp.proxad.net which does not support the REST command (for more information, see the URL to the bug I submitted to Fedora Bugzilla). regards, Dag ---------- components: Build messages: 66928 nosy: daggett severity: normal status: open title: urllib not handling ftp servers that do not support REST type: behavior versions: Python 2.5 __________________________________ Tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue2891> __________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
