This issue is 13 years old. The original 2008 patch was used in a production environment against an OpenVMS server identifying itself as MadGoat. That use case involved downloading documents only, and no write permission was available. Therefore the patch only supports RETR. See the debug.log file attached to this issue for the server interaction. I no longer have a need for BLOCK mode, and don't know what modern servers would support it. mikecmcleod revived this issue so perhaps they can provide some ability for testing, or perspective on the current needs. The PR updates the patch to Python 3, and includes a test written against the minimal changes required for that 2.7->3.x update. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <https://bugs.python.org/issue2628> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
