http://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27437 FTP "get" and "list" tasks fail ------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2004-09-24 02:11 ------- Rory - I favor your submission far above the old thing in the proposal tree which I think must be what you're talking about. Your submission will work with the current setup and the old one needs significant rework. However, before we commit it, I would like to get clarity on my main question, which nobody has ever answered, ever since this bug (and similar ones before it) was first posted. So, let me reiterate: Is the d/m/y ordering of the date a particular attribute of AIX or the AIX ftp server, anywhere and everywhere, or is it an artifact of LOCALE? Do American AIX servers format the date in the American traditional m/d/y way - or do they follow the d/m/y model? Because if it's the former, I am opposed to creating an AIX parser that is only good for a particular locale. Of course, non-Americans may complain, and rightfully so, IMHO, that that's what THEY have had to put up with all these years. But the extremely low volume of such complaints, plus the utter lack of response I've received to multiple requests for ANY actual data on the prevalence of the various date schemes on FTP servers around the world, inclines me to believe that there must be many FTP servers in Europe that are following the American model. If I am wrong about this, PLEASE, let someone correct me! In other words, I am opposed to saying "AIX" when what we really mean is "AIX in a British locale" or "AIX in a European locale". That will lead to a jumble. What I'm really worried about is that we might start to see requests for UnixFTPFileEntryParserDeutsch or NTFTPFileEntryParserEspanol. We need to SOLVE the locale thing, not just paper over it. Also, we need to now think about the autodetection mechanism. Do you know how AIX FTP servers identify themselves to the SYST command? --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
