I'm not sure about this. Such a requirement should be respected by both peers and AFAICR there's no FTP-related RFC which explicitly states that shutdown() should be used. http://www.rfc-archive.org/getrfc.php?rfc=4217 chapter 12.4 should reflect the same use case we're talking about: a client sending a file (STOR). In the example only close() is used, which perhaps should lead this discussion to question whether socket's close() method is implemented properly, as your linux man quote suggests. ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue10202> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
