New submission from Dor Dankner: The gzip module generates files with wrong OS header, by putting "Unknown" OS, instead of checking and filling the user's OS. >From the gzip RFC (rfc1952): "This identifies the type of file system on which >compression took place. This may be useful in determining end-of-line >convention for text files."
The following patch contains a fix that fills the current OS flag (and testcase ;) ) * The bug is relevant to python 2.x too, but I did not test the patch on it. ** also, I did not run the testcase on Win/Mac, however it should work. ---------- components: Extension Modules files: gzip_os_header_fix_and_tests.patch keywords: patch messages: 270515 nosy: ddorda priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: Wrong OS header on file created by gzip module type: behavior versions: Python 2.7, Python 3.5, Python 3.6 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file43738/gzip_os_header_fix_and_tests.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue27525> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
